The evacuation of an emergency stealth drone by a Mi-17 helicopter was filmed on video

An inconspicuous Shahed-191 jet strike unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to the aerospace forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps made an emergency landing in the provinces of Cheharmehal and Bakhtiariya.

Judging by the published photos and video frames, this tactical UAV did not receive any special damage. Apparently, such a successful landing occurred due to the fact that it was possible to use the parachute system on board.

The incident naturally aroused great interest of local residents who came to take a look at this sample of remotely controlled aircraft.

A Mi-17 transport and amphibious helicopter was called to evacuate the drone. He took out an emergency "stealth drone" on an external suspension.

Shahed-191 is a smaller version of the American RQ-170, planted in Iran in December 2011.

Having received the latest secret UAV at their disposal, local designers have created several types of their "flying wings" with jet and piston engines.

For example, the above-mentioned device, according to some data, has a take-off weight of more than 500 kg, its length is 2.7 meters, and the wingspan is 7.31 meters.

The payload weight (which includes guided aerial bombs) reaches 100 kg. The flight altitude is more than 7,600 meters, the radius is 750 km, and the duration is 4.5 hours. The maximum speed is 350 km/h.

Previously, the "One Hundred and Ninety-first" were successfully tested in a real combat situation.
