Iran’s Tasnim news agency announced the development of a suicide drone that could be used against US ships in the Persian Gulf, where tensions between the US Navy and Iranian vessels has been increasing due to provocative Iranian maneuvers near US warships.
The aircraft was described as “carrying payloads of explosives for combat missions” and to “collide with the target and destroy it, (whether) a vessel or an onshore command center.”
It “has not been designed to be armed with missiles,” Tasnim said, reports USA Today.
The US military has made extensive use of drones for surveillance and to attack targets on the ground. The Iranian aircraft can fly up to four hours, has a 620 mile range, a ceiling of 3,000 feet and can be used at night or in “damp sea conditions.”

“Suicide drone” is another word for “cruise missile”. Mostly the same thing.
After Trump is sworn in, he needs to take care of these crazies.
Groovy. Did they buy them with the 158 billion Ohussein sent them?
Suicide drones? As opposed to drones who value their lives and want to go home to their families after the war?
I vote that we give them a lot of “damp sea conditions” testing! Let’s include the Mullahs in that testing.
Uh huhhh
and Obama can’t shoot back because it’s part of the Iran Deal ?
Are these like the Jap “Baka” flying suicide bombs of WWII? With an actual humanoid muzzie pilot inside?
That was a heckuva deal Obama and Kerry negotiated!!
Suicide drone...
The Japanese called them Kamikaze planes.
Nuke Iran
It worked in Japan.
And it is one of the few ways to totally rid us of death cults.
It’s long past time that these little mother F’ers get a good body check, just a reminder that they ain’t $hit and if we want to we can F them up at any time...Keep talking $hit!!!
Eventually your alligator mouth will get your hummingbird a$$es in more trouble than you ever bargained for, and if Trump gets elected, I would suggest your supreme leader get on a plane fly here on January 21st and kiss President Trump right on the right a$$ cheek just so he doesn’t start bombing you retarded a$$es immediately.
Keep talking!!! We are taking names!!!
Does it look anything like the stray US drone Iran confiscated and Obama refused to destroy?
Didn’t the Iranians find one of our drones and confiscate it?
And I think Obummer just wrote it off...
Target practice.
OMG! Iranian suicide drones fly at night!
By definition a suicide drone would need a suicide
pilot. I’m thinking hot lasers would play hell with
their target acquisition. Light’em up!
Religion of Peace outreach vehicles.
Iran announces flying bombs recently invented by its own super genius inventors! Rumor has it that a driver-less car bomb is in the works.
How can anyone keep up with these people?
Big Navy boats have guns on deck to handle these types of threats. Think of a smaller A-10 gun mounted on deck.
