Iran imezindua meli yake ya kwanza ya kubeba droni, ikisema inaweza kufanya operesheni katika bahari za mbali kutoka bara la nchi hiyo, shirika la habari la IRNA liliripoti Alhamisi.
Kwa mujibu wa taarifa, meli hiyo ya Jeshi la Walinzi wa Mapinduzi inaweza kubeba vikosi vya droni, helikopta, na makombora ya cruise. Ikiitwa Shahid Bagheri, meli hiyo ina uwanja wa ndege wa mita 180 kwa droni na inaweza kusafiri hadi maili za baharini 22,000 bila kujaza mafuta.
Awali iligeuzwa kutoka meli ya kibiashara na inatajwa kuongeza uwezo wa ulinzi wa Iran.
Kipindi cha TV ya taifa kilionyesha angalau helikopta nne na droni tatu kwenye uwanja wa meli hiyo.

Iran has inaugurated its first drone-carrier warship, saying the vessel is capable of operating in oceans far from its mainland, the official IRNA news agency reported Thursday.
The report said the vessel, manned by the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard’s navy, can carry several squadrons of drones as well as helicopters and cruise missiles. Named Shahid Bagheri, it’s capable of launching cruise missiles, IRNA said.
With a 180-meter-long runway for drones, the vessel can travel up to 22,000 nautical miles without needing to refuel in ports. The report said it was converted from a commercial ship and would increase Iran’s power of deterrence.
Footage broadcast by state TV on the inauguration showed at least four helicopters and three drones on the warship’s runway.
