The Iranian Armed Forces have deployed a diverse array of domestically produced drones, including Chamrosh, Yasir, Sadeq, Pelican, Ababil, Kaman-12, Yazdan, and Mohajer. These drones are responsible for monitoring and safeguarding the nation's land, sea, and air borders, as well as international waters, as highlighted by the general. Additionally, to effectively coordinate the flights and operations of these drones within a unified network, the Army has established the 'Zolfaqar' headquarters as the central command and control center.

In August, the spokesperson for the Iranian Defense Ministry revealed that several European countries had expressed interest in acquiring Iran's unmanned aerial vehicles.
