The Qods Mohajer 10 (Persian: مهاجر ۱۰, lit.'migrant') is an Iranian UCAV unveiled in 2023. It has an operational range of 2000 km (or 1,240 miles),[3] its airframe has a visual resemblance to the MQ-9 Reaper.[4] It has a 24 hour flight endurance ability and can carry up to 300 kg of cargo, including munitions and electronic equipments.[5] It was officially unveiled in August 2023, in the presence of the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the Minister of Defense Brigadier-General Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani.

In the unveiling ceremony, Mohajer 10 was equipped with 6 air-to-ground munitions; the Almas missile, Ghaem bomb and Dastvareh/Arman-1 gliding bomb.[6] An Israeli television channel claimed that in the first showcase of the drone, the Israeli city of Dimona was threatened with a "prepare your bunker" message written in Hebrew.[7] However the Iranian Broadcasting report and the official unveiling teaser from the Iranian MODAFL did not contain any reference to Israel,[8][9] but a poster from unknown sources circulated online showing an MQ-9 marked with an Iranian flag flying over the Israeli Negev Nuclear Center, an important production center of Israeli nuclear weapons,[10] with a title in Farsi and Hebrew reading "Be ready to travel to the Stone Age".[11]

Mohajer 9 and 7 are under development and no information has been published on them. Mohajer 8 is supposedly an upgraded version of Mohajer 6, the later one having operated in different countries such as Iraq, Syria and Russia. The drone is said to be developed based on requests from the IRGC Navy, IRGC Ground Force and the Iranian Army Ground Force.[12][13]
