"The UAV has [been] intensively used in the recent Iraqi security forces war against Daish," Jalal Hussein, SCMI's chief engineer, told Jane's , using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State militant group.

He added that Iraqi security forces have shown serious interest in acquiring the UAV to support their operations, while he indicated that his engineers are developing more capable cameras for it and considering the possibility of arming it with bombs.

The fixed-wing UAV has a 3 m length, 4 m wingspan, and is powered by a 220 cc engine. It has a maximum speed of 175 km/hour, a cruising speed of 135 km/hour, a service ceiling of 3,500 m, a range of up to 80 km, an endurance of up to 8 hours, and a 30 kg payload, according to SCMI.

It is a first new step but the right step..I say new because Iraq was making drones in the 90s..

Bravo, Iraqis always were different from other Arabs; more smart and more independent.

Hope they encrypt control communications for that

you cant use strong encryption for real time communication .... strong encryption normally high iteration rate which will result of slow algorithm .... this is fundamental problem for drone real time communication ....

Yes asymmetric encryption is slow, symmetric is fast but weaker especially standalone

عجیب! انقلاب به معنای آن است که به عنوان کاتالیزور برای پیشرفت عمل کند؛ اما ایرانی آن را متوقف کرد
