The Mohajer/Mirsad (Persian, Arabic meaning "Ambush") is a series of Iranian built UAVDrones. Iran's UAV program was launched in the wake of the 1980-88 war with Iraq. Iran has also been investing in several families of attack and multirole UAV. Over the years, Iranian officials have reported the deployment of target drones and such UAVs as the Mohajer-3 [also called Hodhod—"a hooded bird") and the Mohajer-4. The Mohajer 4 underwent a test flight on 16 February 2002. The Saeqeh UAV was tested at the same time. The Mohajer is primarily used to spy on targets of interest such as Military installations, enemy positions, etc. It may also be capable of guiding LGB munition to their targets.

Incidents

On November 7, 2004, Hezbollah, a lebanon based militant organization, flew a Mohajer-4 over northern Israel for approximately 5 minutes. The UAV entered Israeli airspace at more than 100 knots and an altitude of about 1,000 feet. After briefly flying over the seaside city of Nahariya, the UAV fell into the sea as it returned to Lebanon. An embarassment for the Israeli government, the overflight proved to be a symbolic success for Hezbollah, which claimed the flight to be an appropriate response to Israeli incursions over Lebanon.

London-based Arab daily newspaper Ash-Sharq Al- Awsat quoted an unnamed senior officer with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as saying Iran has sold 8 Mohajer-4s to Hezbollah. [1]
