Name
[edit]This domestically-manufactured drone, dubbed ‘Farpad,’ (فرپاد)[14][15][16] is considered as the latest surveillance-aircraft of its sort to join the battery of Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces (NEZAJA), the acronym derived from the Persian name of the Army’s Ground Forces.[citation needed]
Abilities
[edit]This hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle can fly as far as[17][18][19] twenty kilometers (equivalent to twelve miles) for a period of time – in 45 minutes. Farpad's weight is approximately 4 kg. This drone is utilized in reconnaissance missions and is able of either storing-information or transferring-data via online connection.
