317-mph' suicide drone': Iran deploys its fastest radar-evading UAV

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has introduced a new jet-powered strike drone called the Hadid-110 or Dalahu, marking a significant advancement in the country’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. This suicide drone features a compact jet engine and a sharply faceted, radar-evading airframe designed to reduce its radar signature, enabling it to penetrate air-defense networks with minimal warning. With a top speed of approximately 317 miles per hour (510 km/h), a 30-kilogram warhead, a range of about 217 miles (350 km), and an endurance of around one hour, the Hadid-110 is Iran’s fastest suicide drone. It uses a rail-and-rocket-booster launch system before its jet engine ignites, and its delta wing and faceted body reflect Iran’s focus on radar stealth technology, similar to modern cruise missiles and Western low-observable aircraft. Iran has steadily developed its drone capabilities over the past decade,
