Iran has developed a kamikaze drone capable of carrying 50 kg of explosives
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) announced the successful testing of the new Miraj-532 kamikaze drone. (Meraj-532). This is reported by TASS with reference to the Tasnim agency.

Iran showed another UAV from the Meraj line, which is being developed for the ground forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps by their Jihad Research and Self-Sufficiency Organization. This time, the Meraj 532 kamikaze drone was shown. According to Tasnim, this kamikaze drone can fly at a distance of up to 450 km at an altitude of up to 3.66 km (12,000 feet) and the flight duration is up to 3 hours. Warhead weighing up to 50 kg. In the video footage, it is launched using one of Iran’s favorite schemes using acceleration by car, but it can certainly be launched with the help of a starting accelerator.
