Mohajer-6

Iran’s twin-boom multirole ISTAR/strike UAV — a runway-operated, 12-hour endurance platform armed with precision glide bombs and Almas missiles, exported to Russia, Venezuela, Sudan and others, and seeing combat from Ukraine to the Caribbean.

Overview

The Qods Mohajer-6 (Persian: مهاجر-6) is a single-engine, twin-boom uncrewed aerial vehicle that bridges tactical intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) with light precision strike. First shown publicly in 2016, it sits in the lower end of the medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) class — roughly comparable in weight and armament to the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 — and has become Iran’s most widely exported combat drone, according to Wikipedia. Russia, Venezuela, Sudan and Ethiopia all operate the type, and it has seen intense use across the Ukrainian and Sudanese theatres.

Development

Qods Aviation Industry Company unveiled the Mohajer-6 in April 2016 as the first strike-capable evolution of the Mohajer family that has been flying since the 1980s. Mass production began in February 2018, with an initial batch of ten aircraft handed to the IRGC Ground Forces and 40 more planned for the IRGC Navy Wikipedia. The airframe was progressively armed with the Qaem family of precision-guided bombs from 2019, and in August 2022 the Almas anti-tank missile was added to its weapon suite, a move documented by Army Recognition. A follow-on, the heavier Mohajer-10, was exhibited in August 2023, doubling the payload with a claimed 24-hour endurance Unmanned Airspace.
