Iran's regime will parade a homegrown drone in a ceremony Feb. 11, marking the 37th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Iranian media announced Tuesday.
The drone, known as Shahed 129, which means 'witness' in Persian, will be displayed at an event Thursday with remarks by President Hassan Rouhani and special guest Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who will deliver a speech.
The announcement comes from Tasnim News, a Tehran-based media outlet with strong ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), with stated aims to defend Iran's Islamic government against damaging media propaganda.
First introduced by Iran's Revolutionary Guard in 2012, the now mass-produced Shahed 129 drone, an unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle with reported endurance of 24 hours and 2000 km operational range, has already engaged in combat in Syria, striking vehicles and other targets.
An armed display photo suggests the drone is capable of carrying four Sadid (guided) missiles, and Iranian sources have stated it is capable of a payload of eight weapons that can strike moving and stationary targets.

Is this drone based on the one Obama gave them?
You can Betcha!
I bet it will look just like the one obama gave them.
The introduction was delayed due to the unavailability of 1/2” birch plywood due to the sanctions.
I’m sure Obama will lecture him about lending support to the enemy.
Will Beyonce also attend?
So are the Shiites on the side of Loonie Louie and the spaceship? Or are all of the Muslims melding into one giant ugly force that will exterminate life on the planet?
Why would we let Louie back in? He ain’t rootin’ for the home team.
No, she has a gig at the black panthers headquarters that day.
From the size of her legs, I would have thought she had a date at Dunkin Donuts that day.
