Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force has unveiled a new type of suicide drone with a range of 20 kilometers as the military unit continues to upgrade its cutting-edge warfare technology.

The loitering drone named “Rezvan” was introduced and operationalized on Thursday, the final day of Great Prophet 19 military drills by the IRGC Ground Force in western Iran.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a range of 20 kilometers and a 20-minute flight endurance.

The suicide drone is equipped with a camera mounted on the front that sends images after being launched from its cylindrical launcher, allowing the operator to select, lock on and attack a target.

Owing to their versatility and rapid deployment, the loitering UAVs provide the IRGC Ground Force’s rapid response units with new capabilities to combat terrorist groups, not least in complex mountainous geography.
