Shahed 191

The specifications for the Saeqeh are unknown, but it is believed to have a wingspan around 6–7 meters. Saeqeh-1 The Saeqeh-1 was first presented at an Iranian arms expo in 2016. Iranian state news claimed the Saeqeh-1 could carry four Sadid-1 precision-guided anti-tank guided missiles. The Iranian Government did not provide a demonstration of the UAV flying, or state what its range was. The Saeqeh-1 had no apparent targeting/optical system. According to Tasnim News, the Shahed 191 is 60% of the size of the RQ-170. The Shahed 191 carries two Sadid-1 missiles internally and lands on retractable landing skids. The ceiling is 25,000 ft. The wing span is 7.31 meters, the length 2.7 meters, the max takeoff weight 500 kg, and the max speed 350 km/h. Fars News Agency says the Saeqeh-2 has been used in combat in Syria, using missiles against the Islamic State militant organization. Propeller-powered variant In wargames held in 2019 Iran showed a Saeqeh variant powered by a propeller. It carries its Sadid-1 weapons externally and lands on fixed landing skids. It takes off similarly to the Shahed 191 variant. == Operational history ==

presents part of a destroyed Saeqeh drone at the Munich Security Conference 2018 On 1 October 2018, the IRGC Aerospace Force used ballistic missiles and drones, supposedly including Saeqeh UAVs, to attack targets in the Abu Kamal region, in Eastern Syria. Although Iran had first shown the Saeqeh with four Sadid-1 missiles slung under the body, in this incident they released video they said showed a Saeqeh UAV releasing a single Sadid-1 bomb from its internal bomb bays. Israel shot down a Saeqeh during the February 2018 Israel–Syria incident. The Times of Israel reported that the UAV's design was largely based on the captured RQ-170; IAF Brigadier General Tomer Bar said that the drone was quite advanced and imitated western technology. In July 2022, the United States claimed that Russian officials had travelled to Iran to 'examine' drones, including several labelled on satellite images as Shahed-191. At least one of these aircraft was pictured in flight near Kashan airfield. The report stated that the aircraft appeared to be 'attack-capable'. ==Specifications (Shahed 191)==
