Iran has begun mass producing a drone invisible to radar, the Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, announced on Saturday.

"The drone can be used in reconnaissance operations, information gathering, picture dispatching and film shooting," the general said, adding that "the shape and material of the drone makes it impossible to be detected by radars so it cannot be targeted."

"The drone has passed its experimental phase and is being mass produced, and we are currently using it in our operations," Safavi claimed.

He added that the drone was a defensive tool, saying: "We do not intend to invade countries and we do not believe in expansionism, rather, we are to protect our revolution, develop our country and remove our problems."
