#4 Chris:
Actually, they created a V-1 V-1.

Notice that they claimed "long range at a high speed" but did not give any numbers. The look on this aircraft screams "non-stealthy subsonic".

#5 Al, you forgot the 'Jinn' factor in its speed and stealthiness.

#7 I for one, would like to know which companies sold them the electronics and parts being used in these rockets.

#8 Looks like a rocket with a bomb hung beneath it to my inexpert eye.

#9 I can imagine the meeting at Iran Aerospace Industries.

"The Zionists have a long range UAV bomber and the Mullahs say we have to have one too."

"That will take years of R&D and with the sanctions ..."

"How about we take one of the old Nork rockets, bolt a dumb bomb to it and call it a long range bombing drone. Have a glitzy launch and press conference. Paint a few words from the Koran on the side. The Mullahs will be impressed. They don't know shit about technology."

#10 v=1 or v-2 they're 70 years behind. looks like they could have gotten the plans from a nazi along time ago since they where such bedroom buddies.

#11 The claim the drone is a sort of "mother ship" that carries 4 cruise missiles and then returns to its base. Sounds like a great way for Israel to attack Iran using the same sort of technology. No pilots to worry about.

#12 It does look very like a V1.

I even see a pulse jet engine in there.

Anyone on here could make one for 1000 USD easily.

#13 With a Model Aircraft Kit + A modern phone (GPS + tilt + USB) plus this motor almost anyone could make a Cruise missile.

#14 If it's remotely controlled, it's probably subject to jamming, or even hacking.

#16 It would be pretty funny to get a video of the Iran UAV flying along and have a USAF Predator come up from behind and mount it
