Iran panostaa UAV:hin

Drones: every military wants ‘em. But if you’re a country like Iran, sanctions can put a bit of a crimp in your efforts to build an unmanned aerial vehicle fleet. To get around the problem, Iran is turning inward, using drone development competitions to gin up new ideas for homebrew UAVs.

Iranilla on Karrar UAV. Monessa mielessä UAV voi olla paljon yksinkertaisempi rakentaa kuin täysimittainen taisteluhävittäjä eli pienen valtion kannattaa panostaa nimenomaan UAV teknologiaan.
