Iran unveiled its latest jet-powered reconnaissance and attack drone, the Shahed-161. The drone's primary purpose is reconnaissance and surveillance, and it can also be used for border patrol. The drone is believed to be a reverse-engineered version of the American RQ-170 Sentinel, with the Iranian version being 40% smaller. It can also carry two bombs weighing up to 50 kilograms. If the drone proves successful, it could be produced in Russia as well. The Shahed-161, weighing 170 kg, has a range of 150-300 km and can remain airborne for approximately 2-3 hours. It can fly at an altitude of up to 9,000 meters and a cruising speed of approximately 135 km/h.

Iran unveiled the Jaljaleh aerial anti-drone mine. Iran unveiled a new, unusual air defense system designed to counter FPV and drones—the Jaljaleh aerial mine. The Jaljaleh anti-drone system uses acoustic sensors that detect engine sound, then fires a cluster of submunitions into the air, which destroy enemy drones. Upon detonation, the Jaljaleh munition creates a continuous kill zone with a radius of five meters, at an altitude of up to 350 meters, with a maximum fragmentation range of 15 meters. The fragments are ejected at a speed of 2,000 meters per second. The mine can also destroy low-flying helicopters.
Russia may receive Iran's Hadid-110 jet-powered drone. Iran tested the Hadid-110 stealth drone during the Sahand 2025 military exercises, which were attended by SCO member states. The Hadid-110's specifications are already known: its maximum speed is approximately 510 km/h, its range is up to 350 km, and its service ceiling is 9,000 meters. The Hadid-110 drone can carry a warhead weighing up to 30 kg. Its flight endurance is approximately one hour. The drone has a streamlined fuselage and a compact jet engine.
