The new drone is primarily for maritime surveillance and "has not been designed to be armed with missiles," the Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Guards, reported.
Your theory about them buying a crappy generic model in moderate quantity isn't a completely horrible bet. Why? Well, this...
"(But) it can carry heavy payloads of explosives for combat missions to launch suicide attacks.

"Flying at a high cruising speed near the surface of the water, the aircraft can collide with the target and destroy it, either a vessel or an onshore command centre."
Wow.

If you're halfway competent in terms of tech, do you know what's cheaper than using your drone as an improvised guided missile? An actual fucking guided missile launched from your drone.
