Iran's Revolutionary Guard has unveiled an attack drone, capable of carrying missiles and described as the unit's "most sophisticated" so far. The Guard's website, sepahnews.com, says Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari unveiled the drone Friday.
He is quoted as saying the all-Iranian-made drone is a strategic asset in protecting the nation's borders. The website says the drone, dubbed Shahed-129, or Witness-129, can fly up to a distance of 1,700 kilometers (1,062 miles), which puts much of the Middle East within its range. (AP)
