Shahed 171 (Simorgh) (2e3f4a5b-6c7d-8e9f-0a1b-2c3d4e5f6a7b)
The Shahed 171 Simorgh is an Iranian‑built, jet‑powered flying‑wing UCAV developed by the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Company (HESA) and fielded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force. Originating from a reverse‑engineered Lockheed RQ‑170 Sentinel captured in 2011, the Simorgh serves as a long‑range strike‑combat platform capable of carrying up to 60 kg of ordnance on four external hardpoints. Its rotary‑engine propulsion provides a maximum speed of roughly 290 km/h and an endurance of 18 hours, while its 10‑metre wingspan offers a relatively low radar cross‑section. With a unit cost of about US $4 million, the drone is intended for deep‑penetration missions, surveillance and precision‑guided weapon delivery within Iran’s regional theater.
