Analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency say Iran has become a global leader in the production of cheap and very effective drones.

Iran PressAmerica: United States officials pointed out that Iran is emerging as a global leader in the production of cheap and lethal drones.

During a briefing in London, one US official highlighted that Tehran emerged as a global leader in the production of cheap and very effective drones.

On February 8, the Iranian news agency Entekhab quoted a senior official at the Iranian Intelligence Ministry as saying that China was among 90 countries "queuing up" to buy Iran-made drones.

"Our power has grown to levels where China is waiting in line to buy 15,000 of our drones," said the director of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry's Think Tank for Political Research.

In late December 2022, the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Ali Bagheri, underlined that Iran stands among the world's five leading countries in terms of drone capabilities.
