IRGC chief clearly mentioned 7,000 KM in his Speech.

"We have decided to be among the top countries in the world in every phenomenon and today we are among the top countries in many areas," he said. "We have large drones that fly 7,000 kilometers and anywhere. Are coming down "

@PeeD sir, the word پهن پیکر makes me hopeful for something big, a drone as big as a bomber.
What engines it might operate, remains to be seen. What do you think?

36h x 400km/h is 14.000km, so 7000km radius.

S-149 Gaza?

The mega bomber based on rq170 seems to be operational but not yet unveiled

If the 7000 km range announced is operational range then it means that the drone has 14000 - 15000 km ferry range that is amazing

not my first thought but with little fuel tank yes but you are destroying your weapons capacity in turn

[Hack-Hook]

when they say he range they usually means range not radius like shahed171 that when they claimed 4400km of range they meant range not radius

mystery Iranian drone made from carbon fiber

The new (suspected made in Iran) drone, should be rather called prop-driven cruise missile Compared to previous designs, it likely doesn't rely on GPS/INS/ passive RF-seeker
It should rather have a IIR seeker (Sadid) with image correlation

Making it more difficult to counter

These more advanced drones are what scares the Israelis and Americans so much.

-small
-accurate
-illusive
-lethal
-Easy to produce (?)
-and I'm assuming easy to smuggle

Flooding the air-space with these during a fight would spell absolute pandemonium for AD units trying to defend critical infrastructure like Radars and mobile command posts and lightly covered hangars.

If this was really made by Iran (which seems highly likely), one can only imagine what other offensive weapons Iran has been making this past decade or so.

Just don't like the fact it can be turned other way around using the same drones!

 

[Mr Iran Eye]

It is clear that Iran is keeping secrets and will reveal some in the future, but I can't wait for them to bring us fighter jets that they never showed us. It will shake a few people here who think that Iran is not very advanced in the fighter planes

Yeah I feel you, but the modern battlefield will be and is littered with these exact type of small, suicide drones that can and will wreak havoc to any military force not up to snuff to deal with or at the very least, absorb the type widespread destruction they can cause.

Nagorno-Karabakh really showed the world just how deadly such weapons are and I'm glad Iran has been on the forefront of this sort of technology for quite some time.

As with any other nation, Iran is under no obligation to reveal its full military capabilities to anyone.

I'm glad Iran can be quite coy about it as well lol.

US airstrikes follow a spate of sophisticated attacks by Iranian drones that can avoid US surveillance

President Joe Biden's decision to conduct airstrikes against Iran-backed militia groups on the Iraq-Syria border Sunday night follows a recent spate of attacks against US military assets in Iraq by a new class of Iranian-made drones that US officials say can evade US surveillance and defenses.

Another article that underestimates Iranian fighter planes and their progress on this subject but for me it is good news. The surprises will be bigger

WOW!!
I`ve gotta say,this is very likely one of the single most,possibly in fact THE most,honest and unbiased assessments of an iranian weapons capability that I`ve ever encountered,I`m literally in fvcking shock!!.
Usually the very best you can expect from western sources is a damning with faint praise/grudging admission type of recognition.For the rest of the time its either playing down those capabilities,openly doubting them,or when neither of those is possible then simply pretending that it doesnt exist,ie "best not mentioned really".

Big thumbs up to OP Skyshadow for this
