The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, General Alireza Tangsiri has revealed that Iranian military experts have developed water-landing drones and hybrid drones, which will be officially introduced in the future.

In a recent interview with Iranian media, the IRGC Navy commander stated, "The IRGC Navy has successfully created drones capable of taking off from and landing on water, a capability that will be publicly announced in due course."

He also mentioned, "Additionally, the IRGC Navy has designed hybrid drones with a single engine, complemented by a propelling engine. These drones have the capacity to carry out reconnaissance missions lasting up to 15 hours."

In a previous ceremony, Tangsiri highlighted the remarkable progress made in the domestic production of UAVs, despite challenging sanctions, and mentioned ongoing efforts by Iranian military experts to develop water-landing drones and drones capable of taking off from water.

The IRGC also revealed earlier on Sunday a new missile, manufactured to target "Israel," and the Fattah hypersonic missile.
