Iran has introduced Shahid Beheshti, its first drone and helicopter-launching ship, into the Revolutionary Guards' fleet. The vessel, originally a commercial ship, has been modified to feature a 180-meter runway and can operate for up to a year without refuelling. This addition strengthens Iran’s naval capabilities, particularly for long-range operations, and supports the launch of larger drones such as the Qaher and Mohajer-6. The move highlights Iran’s focus on expanding its military presence in distant waters.
