Iranian media on June 28 shared photos showing the wreckage of another drone that was shot down over the Islamic Republic during the recent war with Israel.
The drone appears to be a version of the Orbiter 4, developed by Israel’s Aeronautics Defense Systems. The light drone was developed to conduct intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance missions. It has an endurance of up to 24 hours and an operational range of 150 kilometers.
The limited range of the drone raises some serious questions on how it reached Iran and how Israel was able to operate it over the Islamic Republic.
The most likely scenario is that the drone was launched by the Mossad spy agency, which played a key role in the attack on Iran, from a neighboring country. Amid the 12-day war, Iranian media reported that Israel was launching drones from the territory of its ally, Azerbaijan. There were also reports of drones being launched from Iraq’s northern autonomous region of Kurdistan, where Mossad is known to be very active.
Another less likely possibility is that the drone was launched by Mossad from within Iran. The agency carried out attacks from the territories of the Islamic Republic during the war, but used smaller loitering munitions and anti-tank guided missiles.
Here it is important to note that while the Orbiter 4 is larger, Aeronautics Defense Systems had showcased in the past a light electric vertical take-off kit for the drone, which is typically launched using a fairly large catapult.
The downed drone brought Israel’s confirmed aerial losses during the war on Iran to five. The other four losses were also drones, although much larger models like the Hermes 900, Heron and Eitan.
Iran announced the downing of dozens of drones, and even claimed on a few occasions during the short war that its air defenses targeted fighter jets of the IAF, including more than one F-35. Many more losses may get verified in the coming days.

a klingon bird of prey quapla
klingons, unlike israelis, have some honor…..
no, they don’t, because they don’t exist.
iran and russias should have crushed the azeris when they attacked nagorny kharabakh. the real iranian president would still be alife and the attacks on both the iranian and russian rear would be less effectiv without mossad and mi6 beeing in azerbeydhan.
iran has been to lax with its regional influence they could have given azererbaijan a full defeat when they invaded artsakh. iran better cooperate with armenia were they can pashinyan is a shitface but the armenians themselves are on irans side when it comes to liberaring their lands from the zionist azerbaijan vermin.
here is the deal for the jews. israeli hostages released for palestinian independence. take it or leave it
.i suspect azerbaijan allowed israeli to use its bases and airspace to attack iran. if so iran should overrun the country and annex it or split it with russia just like the ribbentrop-molotov arrangement.
bingo einstein go look on x all these zionist accounts holding israeli and azerbaijan flags.
i said this before israel used azerbaijan to assassinate raisi. its time the iranians kill aliyev. and dismantle azerbaijan. we can deal with the zionist snake erdogan later. once they liberate syria.
what syria needs is a ssnp take over. that would be the best course for the country. unless everyone fights jews and like germans did in ww2 against these demons they will always win.
yosef mizrachi has a clip on x where he says that all of azerbaijans military is israelis. adn the laugh and gloat at the demise of the armenians artsakh was a israeli field test of what they were going to do to gaza and the west bank. stupid turk erdogan lovers dont see it that way. and thats why israel destroyed syria. thanks to turkish vermin who recruited goons for isis.
infact go search joseph cohen from israel advocacy movement in the uk his facebook page that hasbara chutzpah vermin is big friends with ajnem choudary he islamizes the uk he gets new australian kids arrested who make some fun of jews on omegle. and he fully embraces isis and anjem choudary recruiting jihadists to destroy syria. its time we all wake up and hate the jews and fight them wherever we find them
its time all these hasbara jews and their hate groups such as the adl in our countries are erased from existance. and any shabbosgoy christian traitor who aided them in taking over our countries for them along with them.
iran better study the wreckages and use the technology to optimize their own designs.
what iran needs is more specialized equipment drones and missiles that can accurately erase high priority targets inside israel. take out airports army depots, nuke launchers and ports. so the next time israel strikes they can hit them back a lot harder and erase their economy and military.
