TEHRAN,
Iran – Iran's army has deployed a suicide drone for the first time in
massive ongoing military drills near the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the
entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Gen.
Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, the army's chief commander of ground forces, is quoted
by Iranian state media Saturday as calling the unmanned aircraft "a mobile
bomb." The drone, named Yasir according to one Iranian newspaper, has been
designed to plunge into aerial and ground targets, as well as ships.
The
six-day military exercise is being carried out over 527,000 square kilometers
(850,000 square miles) in the northern part of the Indian Ocean, Sea of Oman
and the eastern part of the Persian Gulf, through which one-fifth of the
world's oil supply passes.
