The Ukrainian Navy reported the capture of the first Iranian Mohajer-6 drone with a bomb
In 2022, the Russian army actively used Iranian-made drones. In particular, Mohajer-6. The first such drone was captured last fall.
The Navy managed to shoot down an unmanned aerial vehicle over the Black Sea in September 2022. A navigator of a small armored artillery boat told about it.
#Ukraine: More images have arrived of this Iranian Mohajer-6 drone (ER-860) that fell out of the sky into the Black Sea and was recovered by Ukrainian forces; we can see that it is in relatively good condition.
As usual with Iranian weapons, all markings are in English. https://t.co/VyJR32IqmJ pic.twitter.com/FtRstLBFCn

After the hit, the Mohajer-6 began to descend using a parachute system. When the Ukrainian Navy found the drone, they found a guided bomb attached to the pylon.
Naturally, the captured drone was handed over to specialists for examination. As it turned out, it is equipped with a Rotax Aircraft Engines engine, a camera with a multispectral sensor and a laser rangefinder. A Ghaem-5 bomb was mounted on the pylon, with a warhead weighing 8.5 kg.
Mohajer-6 can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h and has a range of 200 km. The drone itself weighs approximately 570 kg, and the maximum payload weight is 100 km. In flight, it can climb to an altitude of more than 5 km.
