IRAN TO UNVEIL NEW PREDATOR DRONE!

Iran's military has launched two production lines to build unmanned aircraft with surveillance and attack capabilities, their defense minister said Monday. The drones would be used for "surveillance, detection and even assaults with high precision," according to a report quoted by the London Daily Telegraph.
This is just the latest in a list of technological advances and military achievements announced by the country.

    That's a nuclear powerd rubber band. Sure hope they don't sell this to the North Korea.

  3. Those rubber bands can be as dangerous as a "Red Rider" BB gun! You can put an eye out with those things---well ACTUALLY put an eye "IN" with one.

  5. Formidable. What's the range of that thing?

    No intelligence data on that yet. However, it is presumed that if armed, the weight of the warhead would mean the operator better haul ass in the opposite direction after launch.

  7. If memory serves me correctly, with an optimal date stamp on the cellophane wrapper, one can achieve a "triple-knot" on the drive band (providing the tensil strength on the prop hook has not degraded beyond ± .035 ml), which will provide an unladen range of nearly "clear across Gramma's two-acre yard".
