Mohajer-6 UAV
Ukrainians fished out an Iranian Mohajer-6 UAV in the Black Sea near Odessa. This is the first evidence of their use by Russian forces in Ukraine.
Iranian Mohajer-6 was likely adjusting strikes of Russia’s Geranium-2 (Iranian Shahed-136) suicide drones in Odessa. Russians likely lost control over the UAV and it fell in the Black Sea.
Last month, US and other Western intelligence officials claimed that Iran had transferred at least 300 UAVs to Russia, including Mohajer-6.
Moscow and Teheran do not officially confirm the supply of Iranian UAVs to Russian forces. However, the Russian military have been actively using Iranian-made Shahed-136 UAVs, rebranded as Geranium-2, in the recent weeks.
Mohajer-6 has been produced since 2017. The UAV is aimed at reconnaissance, surveillance and attacks. It may carry up to 4 high-precision ammunition. Its flight range is up to 200 km at a speed of 200 km/h. The UAV may fly up to 12 hours with the maximum flight altitude of 5400 m.
