Heydar (Persian: حیدر) is an Iranian Robot combat developed by the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces (NEZAJA) and unveiled on 3 October 2019.[1]
The name Heydar is commonly found in Persian, Turkish, and Arabic cultures and holds a deep significance connected to strength and valor. In Arabic, it means “lion,” representing bravery, leadership, and nobility. This name is often associated with strong and courageous individuals and has traditionally been used as a mark of honor and respect.[2] Additionally, it is recognized as one of the titles of Ali, the first Imam in Shia Islam and the fourth Rashidun Caliphate in Sunni Islam.[3]
