Shahed 129 (Persian: شاهد ١٢٩ ,meaning "witness") is an Iranian aerial vehicle (UAV) first publicly unveiled in September 2012. The aircraft is claimed to be capable of carrying out combat and reconnaissance missions with an endurance of 24 hours, making it the first Iranian MALE UAV.
Shahed 129 having an endurance of 24 hours and a range of 1700-2000 km.
Shahed 129 is said to be able to carry Sadid-1 missiles, making it Iran's second weapons capable UAV after Karrar. This suggests that Sadid-1 is not solely a light anti-ship missile but supports more general purpose air to surface strike roles.
