Although it is believed to be no more sophisticated than the Israeli-made combatant drone that has been used by Russia, namely the Forpost-M. However, the protracted war prompted Russia to take the option to bring in combatant drones from Iran, which incidentally has also been battle proven.
The Mohajer-6 was designed by the Defense Industries Organization and manufactured by the Qods Aviation Industry Company. Coming into production in 2017, the Mohajer-6 is expected to carry a multispectral surveillance payload and/or up to four precision-guided munitions.
Constructed of composite materials, the Mohajer-6 features a rectangular fuselage, upward sloping nose, twin tailbooms, a horizontal top-mounted stabilizer, non-mounted wingtips, a straight wing that mounts high and to the rear of the body, and air inlets at the rear of the body. the top and bottom of the fuselage.

The Mohajer-6 is equipped with an autopilot system capable of automatic takeoff and landing. The Mohajer-6 has a maximum takeoff weight of 600 – 670 kg and can carry a weapons payload of around 100 – 150 kg (depending on the model). For the control elements, the Mohajer-6 is controlled from the Ground Control Station (two crew) with a range of 200 – 500 km.
Talking about the runway, the Mohajer-6 is powered by a 115 hp 4 stroke combustion gasoline engine produced by the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA). Or the Mohajar-6 can also be fitted with an Austrian-made Rotax 914 engine.
