Development history

In December 2012, military authorities in Iran claimed to have intercepted two US ScanEagles over the Persian Gulf . The US Navy , as the operator of the US ScanEagles, claimed, however, that no ScanEagles are missing in the Middle East. On December 17, 2012, the IAIO announced the series production of the drone and the deployment of the unmanned missile. Recordings of the Iranian production facilities were published as evidence.

In October 2012, during a five-day visit by the Russian Aviator Colonel General Viktor Bondarev , a Yasir was presented to the Russian delegation as a gift.
