Iran's drone program is inspired by the Predator, which is an American Air Force model. The Shahed 129 aircraft, which was modeled on the Predator, was launched in 2010. Iran also developed an airstrip in Jakigur for 2015 as well. The Shahed 129 was among the few drones to bear the American action hero's name.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2 (an improved version) is capable of more navigation and operational range. The Mohajer-2 was developed by the Iranian Air Force and took over production from the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 measured 9.6ft in length with a 12.5ft wingspan. The Mohajer-2's propulsion system included a WAE-342 2-stroke engine with 25 horsepower and a propeller. It had straight fuselage with wing tips that clipped and mainplanes that ran near the midships.
Iranian officials successfully converted their Mohajers (Ababils) into advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers interrogated Iran's government in 2008 about the presence drones in Sudan. The Iranian government said that the drones were Zagils. Two of the drones fell to rebels in Sudan. Venezuela then purchased the Mohajer-2 UAVs, but was unable to detect them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and one-way missiles is called. Its wing design makes it possible to operate at high speed and altitude. It can perform both missions and take images of targets to record for ground control systems. It can also transport munitions. It is believed to be able to carry a 500-lb unitary explosive bomb as well as two smaller weapons. It is believed that the Israelis could shoot it down and kill both the civilians as well as drones.
The Karrar Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a cloned version of the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. It was used as a military target by the United States, and exported to Iran under the Shah's regime. The Iranians reverse-engineered the aircraft to produce the Karrar. The drone can reach speeds of 500 mph and is capable of carrying 250-pound anti-ship missiles, a GPS-guided bomb, or even a small cruise missile.

What is the law about drones flying on private property?
Recently, the FAA issued new rules regarding commercial drone flight. These rules apply only to UAVs weighing less than 55 pounds and flying below 400 feet above ground level. Commercial operators need to register with the FAA in order to obtain a license. Local authorities must also approve them if they are operating near airports or in other restricted areas.

How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Then, you need to remove any wires connected to the motor and inspect its inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. This means that you will need to bend the motor back into shape. For this purpose, you could use a vice grip to hold the motor and bend it back into shape. After you're done, check your motor for signs of wear.
Once you are satisfied with everything, mount the propeller on the motor shaft. Reattach the wires. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
