The yemenis rather cleverly produced their own vtol variant of the drone by extending the tail booms forward of the wing and then fitting small electric vtol thrusters onto the booms.no, did you guys miss the last posts ?
its also not "new"
it was first seen in iran by late 2019 and was 1 year later used by houthis under the name Mersad-1.
they were already around 25-30 of them in use by IRGC navy in 2020 ,
the drone is called Ghased in Iran.
here IRGC navy receiving some of them in 2020
so its not even first time the IRGC navy received Ghased drones.
in hands of houthis as Mersad-1
Thats one of the lines for the emergency parachute recovery system.Trying to figure out that flat black strip on the body of the drone...is that a lightening protection!!! or some kind of antenna.
Watch again, although it looks like the version from Yemen, the body of this drone is a bit different. The back part is longer. This is a new improved versionno, did you guys miss the last posts ?

Both sides of the ribbon are fixed on the body surface, no compartment for parachute, so ...Thats one of the lines for the emergency parachute recovery system.
Which I think is actually a first on a drone of this size,certainly I havent seen any comparable drones with this sort of system fitted,indeed iran is one of the very few countries to produce and operate military uavs and ucavs equipped with these systems.
Theres a particularly horrible video of a shot down/malfunctioning saudi wing long type ucav crashing into a store front in yemen with no warning whatsoever and killing at least one luckless person,you can see what appears to be a smear of brain matter,or something similar,on a piece of the wreckage.
There is also some object on the top of the fuselage that seems a more likely location to hoist the craft upwards and seems more out of place than the ribbon. Maybe that top object can house a modest radar giving this drone limited awacs capabilities?View attachment 944278

For the object on the top I agree..It is a Hoisting jig..you can actually see the crane hook location.seems a more likely location to hoist the craft upwards

If I am not mistaken the power plant is a 650 hp turboprop ..not sure about the source for the this engine.That's very impressive, I like the four bladed propeller design. What's the powerplant?

yes..I have seen open dome with Sat com antenna ..just not sure which drone it was,,will try to find,.The dome would suggest satcom guidance and control, is that the case?
