The Iranian military displayed the drone, dubbed the Karrar - or "striker" - at a ceremony attended by top officials. State media say it can carry out long-range attacks up to 1,000 kilometers carrying a 200-kilogram bomb.
President Ahmadinejad called the Karrar a symbol of death to Iran's enemies

whats your opinion on this ? im worried that such thing could be used with nuclear bombs :S

the nuclear bomb thing makes no sense to me. nuclear bombs can already cross continents on their own so hows this change anything?

actually it would be a lot less effective. given the speed difference in a ICBM and a drone that would maybe go 300mph loaded. either way its not a threat because the US has multi layered defense systems for airborne attacks.

This certainly is no direct threat to the US. The problem is Israel may perceive it as a threat. In turn they will use this, or the next generation of drones to get the US to go along with their aims of blowing the shit out of Iran.

israel is advanced enough to deal with a drone that probably junk to begin with.
