Farpad (drone) (Persian: پهپاد فرپاد) is an Iranian hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle;[9][10][11] which was unveiled by the Iranian Army[12][13] during the military drills underway in Iran’s strategic southeastern areas. This drone is able to fly as far as 20 kilometers for 45 minutes.[14]
This domestically-manufactured drone, dubbed ‘Farpad,’ (فرپاد)[15][16][17] is considered as the latest surveillance-aircraft of its sort to join the battery of Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces (NEZAJA), the acronym derived from the Persian name of the Army’s Ground Forces.[citation needed]
