TEHRAN - Military hardware known as “kamikaze” robots has debuted in ongoing military exercises by the Iranian Army.

On Tuesday, the Iranian Army and the Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Unit began the second and final day of a large-scale drill codenamed Muharram in the western and northwestern part of the country, Press TV reported.

The drill was joined on the second day by the Army Ground Forces and the Air Force as well as the Air Defense’s radar and missile units.

The joint forces successfully implemented an operation to track and identify flying targets, using a command-and-control system named Fakour.

The exercises featured another debut performance by the domestically-built Fat’h 14 radar system, which can cover a range of 600 kilometers (372 miles) and detect small airborne targets at high altitudes, anti-tank guided missiles, as well as long-haul unmanned aerial vehicles.
