Let us recall that in January it became known that Iran had developed a new model of “shaheed” for Russia. The Shahed-107 drone belongs to the Shahed-101 family of unmanned aerial vehicles with a V-shaped “tail”, a length of about 2.5 m and a wingspan of 3 m. It can cover distances of up to 1 thousand 500 km.
