The Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defence Base, Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli said Iran’s latest UAS, the Haazem 3, has been designed and built for special and strategic purposes. “Haazem 3 is a jet(-engine) UAS and (designed) for specific and strategic goals,” Brigadier General Esmayeeli said.
“Last year we unveiled Haazem 1 used more as a flying target. Now we have Haazem 2 and Haazem 3 which are suitable for high altitudes and move at higher speeds with an improved flying range,” he added.
Brigadier General Esmayeeli further pointed to the other Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) manufactured by Iran, and said Sarir 110 (Throne), which is a multipurpose and hi-tech UAS, is one of superior achievements of the country’s air defence industry.
He said Sarir 110 can be used for combat, reconnaissance and surveillance missions, adding that the drone enjoys 100 precision capability and can pinpoint and destroy targets through the real-time orders it receives from air defense radars.
Iran has recently made giant advancements in aerospace industries, specially in designing and manufacturing pilotless aircraft.
Haazem is designed and manufactured by Iranian air defence experts in three short, mid and long range models and for air defence missions. It can be used as a target for air defence systems and also for reconnaissance missions and can also be equipped with missiles and used for aerial bombardments as well.

More like jet-powered toys. No better than their toy fighter jet.
generally we don’t want to underestimates our enemies, but this really looks like a joke.
In either case, the aircraft shown in the picture above is probably not the Haazem 3, but if it is then the designers should be awarded a jet-aircraft design creativity award and yes, I am being sarcastic.
The photo is the Haazem 1 – as indicated in the text this is a target drone.
As usual there are no photos of the latest aircraft to be found…
