Design

The Mohajer-6 has a rectangular fuselage, an upwards-sloping nose, twin tailbooms, a top-mounted horizontal stabilizer, uncanted wingtips, straight wings mounted high and to the rear of the body, and air intakes on the top and bottom of the engine. The Mohajer-6 is controlled by two elevators on the horizontal stabilizer, rudders on the vertical stabilizers, and two flaps per wing. Unlike other Mohajer variants, it has a three-bladed propeller. The Mohajer-6 has a wingspan of 10 meters and is 7 meters long.[بحاجة لمصدر]It is similar in shape to the Selex ES Falco.

The Mohajer-6 has fixed tricycle landing gear, which underwent changes between the unveiling ceremony in 2017 and mass production in 2018, perhaps to accommodate more weight.[6] It is launched and recovered via runway takeoff/landing.[7]

It has a fixed, forward facing camera for navigation and a gimbal on the chin for a laser range finder and multispectral IR and visible light electro-optical imagery.[8] The Mohajer-6 has three antennas, two on its left wing and one on its right, and a pitot tube on its nose. The Mohajer-6 has two main variants. The A variant has two hardpoints, one under each wing, which can each carry one Qaem TV/IR-guided missile or one Almas missile.[2][أ] Whilst the B variant has 4 hardpoints, with 2 under each wing carrying the same types of missiles. It has an autopilot system capable of automatic takeoff and landing. In addition, Iran describes it as capable of being fitted with electronic support measures, communications jamming, or electronic warfare payloads.[9]

Performance

The Mohajer-6 has a max takeoff weight of 600-670 kg and can carry about 100-150 kg armaments depend on model. Also the ground control station of Mohajer-6 has 200-500 km range. It has a max speed of 200 km/h, an endurance of 12 hours, and a ceiling of 16,000-18,000 feet.[10][11]

Multiple sources say that although the Mohajer-6 is designed by Qods Aviation, it is manufactured by Qods' longtime rival, Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA).[بحاجة لمصدر] Both Qods and HESA are subsidiaries of Iran's state-owned Aerospace Industries Organization.

Operational history

The Mohajer-6 has reportedly been used against the salafist-jihadist terrorist group Jaish ul-Adl that is active in Iran's southern regions.[15] Some Mohajer-6s seem to be based at Qeshm Island.[16]

In July 2019, Iran used the Mohajer-6 against PJAK militants.[17]

Mohajer-6 was (or is) used by Russian forces to guide Geran-2 suicide drones to their targets in the region of Odessa during Russian Invasion of Ukraine.[18]

Ukraine’s defenders managed to catch a Mojaher-6 almost undamaged. There was a Qaem-5 bomb under the wing.[19]
