#Iran's first interceptor drone

The Air Defense Force of Iran has successfully equipped the jet-powered #drone “Karrar-3” with an infrared-guided, air-to-air “Majid” missile, said Brig.-Gen. Alireza Sabahifard yesterday (22 ⁠Oct).

After 1.5 year of research and trial, the “Majid” AD-08 surface-to-air missile was turned into air-to-air. The warhead can detonate various aerial targets with a 700-m to 8-kilometer range. #Karrar is the first Iranian #military drone with a record service ceiling of 47,000 feet (14.3 ⁠km).

The name of this project is “Rasoul”. It provides the ability to quickly respond to drone attacks.
