Jas 1; New member of the Iranian drone family

Mehr News Agency-Policy Group-Hadi Rezai: Given the Islamic Republic of Iran's emphasis on strengthening defense capabilities and achieving advanced military technologies, the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Support in recent years has been put into operation in the field of aerospace and martial arts. One of these projects is the Qahar fighter designed and built as a native fighter with special capabilities. Recently, an unmanned and shrinking example of this fighter, Jas, has been unveiled, a new step in the development of the Iranian UAV fleet.

Ghaher Fighter: Symbol of self -sufficiency in the aviation industry

A prototype of “Qahir 2” fighter, 5 years ago on February 21 1 President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was unveiled. It was introduced as a fourth generation fighter. This fighter is capable of performing air -to -air missions with a single -engine design and composite body. Our country officials have emphasized that Qahir has anti -radar capabilities and the infiltration of enemy airspace by utilizing world -class technologies and reducing radar cross -section (RCS). This fighter a plane Singlemore And it was a monochrome that was unveiled at the time of its unveiling and had low radar cross -section and uses advanced materials in the body. It was also said that the fighter was capable of using native weapons and can fly at low altitude.

But for a while there was no news until five years later, on April 5, a new video of a taxi was released with two engines and a monitoring camera under the nose of the aircraft. In addition, it seemed that the nose of the aircraft was also slightly larger for installation of the new radar.

The Qahir project was then silent until Amir Afshin Khajefard, head of the Armed Forces Airlines Organization, announced that the Qahar fighter project would soon appear in the role of a “drone” aircraft.

Birthday of Jas 1: Shrinking and turning into martial arts

In addition to its special appearance, Qahir has many ups and downs, and has now become a smaller and smaller drone called Jas 2 from a close air support mission. The UAV, inspired by the main fighter architecture, was built in a much smaller dimension, focusing on identification and attack missions.

Converting this project into an unmanned aircraft shows that the construction of secretive drones in our country's armed forces is being pursued with a plan and different applications; Birds that can both act as the goal of defensive systems to calibrate the radar space and familiarize users of defensive systems with trans -regional secretive fighters, and if they are armed, they can be used in the role of martial arts and identification.

The result of the aviation industry in recent years has enabled our armed forces to design and produce a variety of drones with various applications and range; Today, our country is recognized as the top drone power in the region and one of the world's top drone powers.

The display of the large and small models of the Jas 7 UAV at the Martyr Bahman Bagheri UAV and the flight from the ship was an excuse to address it. A high -speed jet drone can do its missions well. The new UAV has an hour of continuity and carries two identification and bombers for the IRGC.

Jas has been operated on the runway from the airport runway and is undergoing flight testing on the Shahid Bagheri UAV and will soon be fully operational.

Technical Features of Jas 1

1. Advanced aerodynamic configuration: Blended Wing Body, a combination of wings and body, increases stability and reduces fuel consumption.

2. Ability to fly at high altitude: Ability to fly at a height of 4,000 feet and carry out long -term missions.

1. Native turbocharged engine: The use of indoor engines that allow flight closely to the speed of sound (Mach 0.8).

1. Equipped with electro -optical and radar systems: Identify targets in any weather conditions and accurate targeting.

1. Relative Hide: Radar absorbent coating (RAM) and reduced motor thermal radiation.

Amir Afshin Khajeh Fard, head of the Armed Forces Airlines Organization, said in an interview with domestic media: “Jas is a strategic drone that uses artificial intelligence to process battlefield data and semi -automatic decision making. “The UAV can act as a group (SWARM) in coordination with other systems.”

Operational capabilities and missions

– Strategic Identification: Using advanced sensors, gathering information from the depth of the enemy soil.

– Attack on land and marine targets: Transportation of air missiles to lightning and a 2 -kilometer range.

– Electronic warfare: Disruption of enemy communication and radar systems.

– Threat simulation: Using as an exercise purpose for testing defense systems.

In his speeches, Commander Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC, has referred to the maneuverability and speed of the fighter, calling it a “symbol of the Iranian defense industry leap”. Our military officials also emphasize the native technologies used.

According to Commander Tangsiri, the UAV could be used in “remote touches” against military bases or enemy vital facilities. It also enables its shortening and short landing capability to be used in unusual gangs as well as the martyr Bahman Bagheri UAV and flight from the ship.

Such drones are difficult to detect and identified by radar systems due to the design and use of specific materials in the body (radar absorbent material).

Due to the use of a jet engine in Jas, with increasing flight continuity, it will be a good choice for air patrol operations as interceptors and combat operations and identification on enemy soil.

Operating units and place in Iranian military strategy

Due to its unique features and capabilities, Jasmine can be used in most forces from the Army to the Corps:

1. The Navy: The Navy is the only unit that has the drone and uses the special drone on the UAV.

2. The Revolutionary Guards Air Force: The unit, which is responsible for strategic and trans-regional operations, can use Jas 1 for operations in remote areas such as the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

1. Army Air Defense Force: A part of the integrated defense network can be used to track high -speed and low -speed targets.

It can be said that Jas 2, along with the control drones, Karrar, Ababel, and so on form the complementary ring of Iran's deterrence. This bird can be called a “hunter” that is capable of inflicting fatal blows to the enemy in harsh conditions.

Reactions to Unveiling of Jas 7

The unveiling of Jasm is the continuation of Iran's successes in the production of war drones such as Gaza, Karrar, Fitr, Witness, Arash, Arch, and so on. Experts believe that Iran is boosting its “asymmetric defense strategy” by developing such systems; The strategy on which the cost of war for the potential enemy is increasing to some extent to give up.

Although foreign observers are skeptical about the accuracy of the claims of Jas's secret capabilities, practical tests of our country's drones in real squares have shown that these systems can be a serious threat to Iranian and Iranian malicious people.

Of course, Iran's drone power, however, is not unique to the country's borders, and in recent years, especially after the emergence of Takfiri terrorist groups in the region, the Islamic Republic of Iran has also been able to create an integrated drone network in the region by strengthening its allies on the Resistance Front. This capability has gone so far that, according to Commander -in -Chief of the Revolutionary Guards, it can cover the world's strategic strategic straits. The UAV has also played a decisive role in recent battles in the West Asian region, enabling Iran to respond to any threat at the regional level.

The Jasmine Fighter and the Jas UAV symbolizes Iran's mutation in defense technology. According to officials such as Amir Khajeh Fard and Commander Tangsiri, Iran intends to change the balance of power in the region by developing a new generation of drones. Although there are challenges such as sanctions and restrictions on access to some technologies, the Ministry of Defense's long -term planning seems to have prioritized mass production of such systems. In the near future, Jas's presence in our country's joint maneuvers with its allies will be a real test to substantiate the claims made.
