Iran Press/ Iran news: The unveiling of the Kaman 19 marks a significant milestone in Iran's UAV capabilities. Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh, Spokesman for the Joint Drone Exercise, announced that the drone would now officially become part of the Iranian Army's arsenal following its debut in the military exercise.
This expansive drill, which spanned across Iran from the southern Persian Gulf to the northern regions, demonstrated the prowess of the Kaman-class UAV. These drones are equipped with a wide range of combat, optical, and electronic warfare systems, rendering them ideally suited for special operations.
Notably, the exercise showcased the proficiency of electronic warfare units from all four army units. The successful implementation of electronic warfare methods, coupled with air base disruption operations, underscored Iran's commitment to maintaining a robust defense capability.
In addition to the drone operations, the exercise featured patrol and reconnaissance missions conducted by drones along Iran's borders, highlighting the nation's dedication to monitoring and safeguarding its territorial integrity.

Furthermore, in a recent development, the Shahid Jalilvand medium-range radar system entered its operational phase during the exercise.
This advanced radar system, designed and produced domestically, enhances Iran's ability to detect and identify aerial threats in the medium range, including micro-bird targets with low cross-sections. With features like three-dimensional target detection, quick tactical responses, and integration into the air defense network, Shahid Jalilvand represents a significant leap in Iran's air defense capabilities.
