Iran says using new stealth drone

TEHRAN: Iran said on Saturday it had started mass producing and using a stealth drone with a range of 700 kilometres that it claimed was undetectable to radars.

“We have built a drone with a more than 700-kilometre range which can collect information and shoot films,” the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards, General Yahya Rahim Safavi, told Iran’s Arabic-language satellite news channel Al-Alam. “The material and the shape of this drone make it undetectable for radars, so it cannot be targeted,” he added. “The drone has passed its experimental phase and it is being mass produced, and we are currently using it in our operations,” Rahim Safavi, said without giving more details. His announcement comes a few days after troops under his command successfully tested a land-to-sea missile with a range of about 350 kilometres and a new Russian-made air defence missile system.

I think we should look into this seriously , tho I have seen in the past they like to make up a lot of stuff to scare the other side.
