The Mohajer/Mirsad (Persian/Arabic for "Migrant") series of unmanned aerial vehicles is built by Iran and operated by Iran and Hezbollah. The Mohajer is primarily used to spy on military installations, enemy positions, etc. It may also be capable of guiding laser-guided munitions to their targets.

The Mohajer 4 test-flew on 16 February 2002. The Saeqeh UAV was tested at the same time.

Iran launched an effort to develop UAVs after the 1980-88 war with Iraq. The country has been working on 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.

Use

On November 7, 2004, Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based militant and political organization, flew a Mohajer-4 over northern Israel for about 5 minutes.

The UAV entered Israeli airspace at more than 100 knots and an altitude of about 1,000 feet, flew briefly over the seaside city of Nahariya, and fell into the sea.

Iran sold eight Mohajer-4s to Hezbollah, according to an unnamed Iranian Revolutionary Guards senior officer quoted by London-based Arab daily newspaper Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat. [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iran/mohajer.htm]
