Arash-2
A compact selection from this profile, with sources and limits. Other configurations and additional measurements remain in the full profile.
An Iranian long-range one-way attack aircraft publicly described by the army’s ground-force commander in 2022. Later analysis discusses the type in a wider loitering-munition campaign. Official declarations, analytical assessments and measured performance remain separate.[1][2][3]
Public-source profile. Performance claims are attributed; type links do not verify an incident identification.

Form, sound & identification limits
- Iran Watch lists 1,000 km in its table but separately records an Iranian 2,000 km maximum-range claim. These are alternative source scopes, not endpoints of a measured uncertainty interval.[3]
- A commander’s claim about intended reach is not a demonstrated mission. No length/span pair is established here, and older Arash-1 or Kian naming is not used to silently substitute propulsion or geometry.[1][3]
Shape or sound alone cannot identify a drone. Follow local public-safety alerts; do not approach wreckage.
