MALE/HALE UCAVs:

• Ababil 5 (low-end)
• Mohajer 10 (mid-range)
• Shahed 149 (high-end)

Everything else in these categories (Mohajer 6, Shahed 129, Fotros, Kaman-22 and others) should be discontinued except for export (especially the older Mohajer/Ababil models). There is also way too much duplication of AGMs/PGMs - they should be standardised to work across Ababil, Mohajer, Shahed class.

Great to see Arash-2 fitted with optical seeker. Would like to see more LO/VLO UAVs/cruise missiles such as the Mobin but larger, the new Tolou-4 engine can power something in the Storm Shadow class which would compliment Shahed-191/181/161 quite well.

Sure, let's abandon the whole Kaman-22 ECM specialized drone project that is able to carry Heydar-2 missile along with S-149
I don't see why Fotros, modern version hasn't been show at all

Kaman-22 is one of the only drones that show usage out of the MQ classic usage of patrolling and bombing some groups

Mohajer-6, S-129, S-136/131 would be okay for export since M-6 and S-136 are already compromised, Iran should follow what most big arms exporters do, export compromised systems
S-129, only the version without the dome would be okay for export

What looks to be 2 new members of the qiam glide bomb family.

In the field of drone production, “we have developed projects that the enemy knows nothing about,” he added.

He said "the enemy felt caught off guard seeing only a limited portion of Iran's military power recently made public."

A close up of the qiams and the 114,sadly tho we dont get to see a close up of the new munitions on the other side of the display.

Another interesting thing is the number "12" on the ababil 5 just visible in the background.......so possibly at least 12 built so far?.

"Arash 2 suicide drone and the moment of hitting the target from the view of the drone's optical camera.The speed of the UAV while diving is 200 km/h, which is actually the highest speed of the Arash UAV with a two-cylinder engine.As I said, the maximum range of this version is 1000 km."

but Kaman-22 is supposed to be more capable

The Mohajer-10 is slightly smaller than the shahed-129, but has a much very larger EO/IR sensor as shown in this photo.
This makes it possible to capture enemies at a much longer range than the RQ-1 and TB-2, which are similar class aircraft,
and it is thought that it will be possible to operate the glide bomb for UAVs with a range of 20-30km announced at the same time.
It can be seen that it is based on a new idea of UCAV capable of low-cost standoff attack.

You may want to bring your amazing suggestions up with management and present your clear rationale and enlighten them with what they've missed and you, astonishingly, have not.

Makes sense since for example AIM-120 launched from NASAMS has 1/3 of range.
