The unmanned flying saucer, named "Zohal", was unveiled in a ceremony attended by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
Zohal, designed and developed jointly by Farnas Aerospace Company and Iranian Aviation and Space Industries Association (IASIA), can be used for various missions, specially for aerial imaging.
The flying machine is equipped with an auto-pilot system, GPS (Global Positioning System) and two separate imaging systems with full HD 10 mega-pixel picture quality and is able to take and send images simultaneously.
Zohal uses a small, portable navigation and monitoring center for transmission of data and images and can fly in both outdoor and indoor spaces.
The second project unveiled in the exhibition was a light sports plane. The plane designed and developed by Dorna Aerospace Company is a full composite sports plane and complies with the Standard Test Method (ASTM).
It is the third ISA-class model introduced to the world and can be used for private flights, aerial patrolling and surveillance.

I don’t doubt that they have some balloons that can loft ground surveillance tech, but they do not have a “flying saucer”.

And to think that people scoffed at me and TOTUS when we said we needed to applaud the Islamic world for their contributions to science and technology.

Haver commented on another thread about it . . .
IF the pic is at all reliable, they may have a typical saucer . . . IF . . . there’s a toroid of mercury in movement around a core etc. etc. etc.
If it’s merely a fan driven hovering sort of copter affair . . . whoop-t-do.
