   - I took a look at the revenue Iran has from selling various military stuff of drone type. You may think Iran's best-selling drone is Shahed 136. I was surprised to see this is not the case.
 It is peace time for the majority of Iran's customers, and what has been selling far better than Shahed 136 is the Mohajer-6 :)

 It is economical (can be reused over and over). Shoots missiles precisely to your targets. Then comes back and lands in your modest airfield :) You reload them in a jiffy and they're like two hours earlier ready to go do your jobs for you.
 It does reconnaissance. It attacks. Destroys soft expensive and/or important targets. Cargo planes full of military equipment on their way to your enemy. Passenger planes boarding your important enemies. Fueling planes up in the sky in war time. Fighter jets that are on the ground and not inside bunkers. Your enemy with the nerve to have his daily ice cream outside the bunker. Etc, and etc.
 Reusable! Cheap! Effective! War or peace time use.
 That's why it sells even better than Shahed 136 and 131. Much better.
 Israeli and American paid and trained terrorists got rude again? Just one of these Mohajers goes beyond the borders, finds their den, then blows ten or twelve of them into pieces with its two missiles. They did just that in pakestan a week ago in fact. 30 kills. 45 injuries. Mohajer follows your enemies anywhere, discovers stuff about them, then leave it to you to decide what to do with them :)
 They keep the "pests" in line :-)
 And hey, it is peace time, right? So use it for agricultural data gathering, or earthquake damage analyses, or flood damage estimates, city and dams and business developments. Sky is the limit. Lot's of departments in any government in the world can use these machines for gathering important data; vital data in fact. So do the universities and research centers. It is not for just military purposes.
 So Mohajer 6 is definitely not Shahed 136. It does not have to carry destructive loads. It has far more uses than a Shahed 136.
 And Iran's customers know how to divide :) Hehe :) Your customers don't. Oh believe me on that. Iran's customers can buy 350 Mohajer-6 drones with the price of one Israeli Hermes 900. They make that "division", and choose the 350 of Mohajer-6 over a single Hermes 900 that will sometime later be shot down anyway :-)
 Mohajer-6 costs just $20000. Anyone can buy it. You can buy a car, right? Then you can buy a Mohajer-6! Price of a second hand car in fact. Or a new base model. Could be even less, as I don't know what goes these days with the crazy prices of cars. Hermes 900 is $7M each... When one of them is shot down it makes it to the news. So which one do _you_ choose between the two drones? Both do more or less the same things for you. And both within the same time span will get shot down.
 What is 350 times ($7M - $20k) ? ... Hehe :)
 Can you at least multiply and subtract? By the time all your 350 drones have been shot down, you've saved this much money compared with using Hermes drones.
   

Here is a shot showing its size.

It can carry four missiles or smart bombs. Two of them under each wing. But the majority of its missions require only two missiles cause its targets are often soft. The early Mohajers used Austria's Rotax engine but that source stopped supplying them to Iran. Iranians have since changed the engine with one that's locally made, making it even cheaper.
It is a jewel. Multifaceted as any Iranian device is. Has grabbed and owned most of the markets that Hermes ever aimed at. Only a few Arab nut jobs order Hermes these days. And that's in return for some favor that the seller has to assume.
No wonder Israelis don't even mind their Hermes getting shot down. They have the same feelings about them as Americans have about their MQ-9... Hehe :) The insane hassle of paying so much for them and losing them to some tiny Houthi or Hezbollah device has indirectly forced them to get rid of them in action. It seems so anyway.
Mohajer 6 won the world market against both!
