On August 24, 2022, Channel 1 (Iran) aired a report about Iranian military drone exercises. The joint drone exercise took place throughout Iranian territory and involved 150 reconnaissance, defense, and "elimination" drones, including Kaman, Arash, Omid, Karrar, Yasir, Pelican, and Mohajer-6 models. The report prominently featured the Mohajer-6 drone, which flies at an altitude of 18,000 feet and monitors Iran's eastern border using an "Eagle-Eye" thermal camera. The report said that there are dozens of Mohajer-6 drones "ready for battle" at an underground base designated "313," and Iran Army Ground Forces Commander General Kioumars Heydari said that this drone is capable of carrying out strikes with either the Almas missile or the Ghaem bomb.
