Iran has unveiled an unmanned, long-distance bomber drone described by the country's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as "an ambassador of death" to Tehran's enemies. ...
Ahmed Vahidi, the Iranian defence minister, said the Karrar had a range of up to 620 miles, which is not far enough to reach Israel.
Iranian state TV reported that the UAV could carry four cruise missiles, two 250lb bombs or one 500lb bomb. ...
On Friday, Tehran test-fired a new domestically built surface-to-surface missile called the Qiam (meaning "rising"). It has already developed long-range missiles capable of hitting Israel and eastern Europe and of carrying a nuclear warhead. ...
620 miles wouldn't be long range in 1938, much less now. Non-issue.

it appears that the chest thumping and overt threats against iran have had an effect. pretty certain that this is not the one we wanted, however
Yes, because if not for the dastardly US, Iran would be a land of peace, milk and honey.
Maybe, maybe not, but it was the US which installed the Shah by way of Operation Ajax, thus overthrowing a democratically elected president.

Today, it's 620 miles. Tomorrow, it's 1,000 miles, which is far enough to drop a nuke on Israel.
This Iranian UAV looks like a P.O.S.
Just sayin...
It appears to be primitive craft without ECM and full-spectrum sensor capabilities. I also strongly doubt that it has satellite up/down links like US and Israeli drones. Reminds me of a dandied-up Scud.This Iranian UAV looks like a P.O.S.
