Using drones in Iran backs to Iran-Iraq war period of time

Mohajer (means Immigrant مهاجر) was first developed at the peak of the Iran-Iraq war. Studies started between 1980 by Iranian universities and IRGC as Iran needed surveillance equipment to gather information about Iraqi moves. Four prototypes were built in 1981 and were initially put into service to monitor the enemy lines in Shalamche (شلمچه). This drone which was later named Mohajer 1 was Iran's first step to manufacture UAVs. Mohajer continued to photograph Iraqi lines to the end of the war and accomplished 619 sorties at the end.

Mohajer 1 (مهاجر يك) was armed with six RPG-7 rockets to attack enemy positions, making it the first UCAV used in War (1984) and one of the first UCAVs of history.

In this video they used original Mohajer-1 drone for filming the wartime events.
Photos which took by drone are real also firing RPG-7 missiles are real as well. Drone had been set to fire two RPG-7 at the same time.
