Qods Saeghe
Iranian target drone
The Qods Saeghe ("lightning bolt") is a simple Iranian recoverable target drone.
Design
The Saeghe has low-mounted delta wings and a bullet-shaped fuselage. It has a sweptback wing rudder and no landing gear. Control surfaces are located on the horizontal stabilizers. The Saeghe is constructed entirely of composite. It is powered by one 18.6 kW (25 hp) WAE-342 pusher engine in a pusher configuration.
The Saeghe is launched via a small rocket from a short metal rail, called a JATO launch. It is recovered by parachute over land or water (as a plastic drone, it floats) or by skidding on its belly over flat terrain.
Variants
It comes in two versions. The first one which only has radio command guidance system and the other one which has GPS guidance and IR emissions.

Why this record matters
The phrase “iranian target drone” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15990610. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
