History
Unveiled in August 2023 by the Iranian Ministry of Defence, it was advertised with a 2,000 km range and 300 kg payload.
It marks the generational leap of the Mohajer family into the heavy MALE class.
The Mohajer-10 was unveiled in August 2023 on Iran's 'Defence Industry Day': it is presented as a national answer to the US MQ-9 Reaper and the Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı, with a declared 24 hours endurance and 300 kg payload.
The drone was developed on an accelerated schedule thanks to lessons learned from Shahed-149 Gaza and Mohajer-6, and incorporates reverse-engineered elements from captured or reconstructed MQ-9s.
The Mohajer-10 embodies the new generation of Iranian MALE drones capable of operating with SATCOM BLOS and puts Iran on par with drone powers such as Turkey, China and Israel.
