Israel's RA-01 Stealth Drone Conducts Covert Missions Against Iranian Targets

The Israeli RA-01 is a highly classified long-range stealth drone used in covert intelligence and strike missions against Iran. First revealed in 2024, it resembles U.S. flying-wing UAVs and likely uses a turboprop engine for extended endurance. The RA-01 has reportedly conducted surveillance over Tehran and supported strikes on nuclear sites, missile batteries, and air defenses during Operation Epic Fury in March 2026. It carries multiple Wind Demon cruise missiles and operates alongside F-35I jets to target Iranian military infrastructure.
