Iran’s military used bomb-laden drones for the first time during army exercises, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
The Iranian-made unmanned aircraft, named Karrar, dropped 500-pound (227-kilogram) bombs on ground targets during drills in the central province of Esfahan, IRNA said on Tuesday, quoting army spokesman Brigadier General Farhad Goudarzi.
