Footage suggests Iran is testing combat drones in Syria
Iran's support of both the Iraqi government and the Syrian regime in their ongoing wars with rebels and terrorist groups is no longer in question. The Islamic Republic offers money, weapons and information to both Damascus and Baghdad. They also provide surveillance drones. However, recent footage claims to show that Tehran is also testing out new combat drones in these war zones.

According to specialists, most of these Iranian drones are surveillance mechanisms. Iran uses them to gather information on enemy positions, which they then share with the Iraqi or Syrian governments. Since these drones can transmit videos in real time, they also allow Iraqi and Syrian forces to direct more accurate rocket and artillery fire at their targets

We do know that Iran has large drones that are capable of carrying missiles. However, up until now, there is no evidence that Iranians have actually used combat drones on any large scale.
We’ve seen lots of amateur videos of Iranian surveillance drones, but no amateur videos of combat drones have emerged. That’s quite strange. Moreover, if they were using combat drones, they would probably be using them on southern Aleppo. But, like I said, none of the militants in that region have posted videos showing these drones in action.
Maybe Iran is just testing combat drones. It wouldn’t be the first time they tested weapons in Syria and Iraq.
