Iran promoted its Gaza unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for export for the first time at the DIMDEX 2024 show held in Doha from 4 to 6 March.
A model of the Gaza UAV was displayed at the Iranian stand and it was detailed in a brochure alongside the M129, which is the export name of the Shahed-129, the Iranian military’s primary long-endurance UAV.
After the Gaza was unveiled in May 2021, it was reported to have a wingspan of 21 m and a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 3,100 kg, making it considerably larger than the Shahed-129, which has a wingspan of 15 m and an MTOW of 1,150 kg with a 400 kg payload.
