The Raad 85 (Thunder 85) (Also R'ad 85, Ra'ad 85, etc) is an Iranian one-way attack drone developed in the 2010s. It was designed by the Iranian Army's Research and Self-sufficiency Jihad Organization in cooperation with Qods Aviation for the Iranian Army Ground Force. It is an unmanned "suicide drone" that is remotely guided to its target by a human operator. It is designed to be operated in an electronic warfare environment.
General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan of the Iranian Armed Forces has stated, "This drone is like a mobile bomb, and is capable of destroying fixed and mobile targets."
In 2015, five RaâÂÂad-85 drones were used to strike an Ahrar Al-Sham military base in SyriaâÂÂs Idlib province, as part of the Syrian Civil War.
