QANDIL-5 (579e557b-9a39-59ad-b06d-6394776dcd98)
The Qandil‑5 is an Iranian‑produced, electric‑powered unmanned aerial vehicle built by INA for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Introduced in 2024, the platform features a 4‑metre wingspan and a flight endurance of up to five hours, allowing it to conduct extended over‑flight of targets. According to open‑source imagery and operator statements, the Qandil‑5 can operate at a range of roughly 100 km, delivering persistent, high‑altitude observation without any onboard weapons. Its primary role is to provide the Islamic Republic of Iran’s forces with real‑time situational awareness and battlefield imagery, supporting both tactical and strategic decision‑making.
