Kaman-22 with a jet engine can become a solid platform for ELINT, SIGINT wingmen for CAP flight as it can now get the speed to keep up with CAP-fighters. Confirmed by head of IAIO, this UCAV has two way Tactical datalink with Kowsar-I and SU-22M4 atleast. SU-22M4 are in IRGCAF hands but the TDL is same. Also the plane carries ECM + Tracking pods, PGMs.
I guess future IRIAF is taking shape brilliantly.
