Iran’s army received 1,000 new drones on January 13, equipped with advanced stealth and anti-fortification capabilities, amid increasing tensions with Israel and the United States.
Iran's army received a delivery of 1,000 new drones, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The drones, which are equipped with advanced stealth and anti-fortification capabilities, were distributed to various locations across the country. The delivery comes at a time of increasing friction with Israel and the United States, especially under the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump.
