Iran could sell its most lethal drone yet, the Mohajer-10- a long range, long endurance attack/reconnaissance drone to Russia following its display at the Army 2024 arms fair in Moscow.

When asked by a defensemirror.com correspondent if the Mohajer-10 would be sold to Russia, an official at the Iran Ministry of Defence stall replied in the affirmative but declined to comment further.

Iran has supplied its popular Kamikaze drone, the Shahed-136 to Russia which has been renamed as “Geran” and deployed in swarm attacks in the war against Ukraine.

Iranian drones that were displayed in earlier editions of the Army event in Moscow have found their way to Russia’s arsenal as it battles Ukraine. In fact, the Mohajer-6 (predecessor to the Mojaher-10) made its first international appearance at the Army 2022 event in Moscow and soon after that reports emerged of the drone being deployed by the Russian Army.
