Washington Free Beacon: Iran ‘Mass Producing’ Drones Strapped with Smart Bombs

Iran announced on Monday that it has begun mass-producing a new weaponized drone that carries smart bombs capable of precision strikes, according to the Islamic Republic's military leaders.

Iran, which has engaged in a massive military buildup since receiving billions of dollars in cash windfalls as a result of the landmark nuclear deal, says that these advanced new drones will be delivered to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, or IRGC, which has been coordinating war efforts across the Middle East, including most controversially in Syria, where Iranian-backed forces have attacked U.S. troops.

The new drones, dubbed the Mohajer 6, are "equipped with the smart Qa'em precision-striking bombs and different electro-optical explorers and different warheads, [and] can trace, intercept and destroy the target," Iranian Defense Minister and Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Monday during a speech celebrating the new weaponry.

WNU;

My first car was a 1929 Ford sedan I bought in 1963. That Ford, a Model A, has evolved into a Ford that I might not be able to start today. My current vehicle is a 1967 VW I purchased in 1971. Today I fumble for the lights, windshield wipers, door locks and just about everything else when I attempt to drive something modern.
Evolution.
