HADID-110 (Dalahu) Strike UAV
1. System Overview
The Hadid-110 is a next-generation, jet-powered "kamikaze" drone developed by the IRGC. Unlike the piston-driven Shahed series, the Hadid-110 utilizes a micro-turbojet engine to achieve high subsonic speeds. Its faceted, tailless delta-wing airframe is specifically engineered to reduce its Radar Cross-Section (RCS), making it a primary asset for penetrating sophisticated integrated air defense systems (IADS).

3. Combat & Payload
The Hadid-110 is optimized for high-precision strikes against high-value stationary targets such as radar installations, command centers, and critical infrastructure.
Warhead: 30 kg fragmentation or high-explosive (HE) payload.
Guidance: Dual-mode navigation utilizing Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) with anti-jamming GNSS/GPS modules.
Targeting: Pre-programmed coordinate-based strike capability with terminal dive maneuvers.
4. Design & Stealth Features
Low Observability: The airframe features sharp, flat surfaces and angular geometry designed to scatter incoming radar waves, a significant departure from the rounded fuselage of earlier Iranian UAVs.
Reduced Reaction Time: At speeds exceeding 500 km/h, the Hadid-110 offers defenders approximately one-third the reaction time compared to the Shahed-136, increasing the probability of a successful kinetic impact.
Thermal Management: Optimized exhaust shielding to reduce the infrared (IR) signature against Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS).
5. Deployment & Logistics
As a verified knowledge exchange platform, EOKHUB classifies the Hadid-110 as a "Tier 2 Penetrator."
Mobility: The system is typically deployed from standardized rail launchers mounted on 4x4 pickup trucks or light tactical vehicles, supporting "shoot-and-scoot" tactics.
Assembly: Designed for rapid field assembly; modular wing-to-body attachments allow the drone to be flight-ready in under 15 minutes.
Tactical Use: Often used in "loyal wingman" or "lead" roles to saturate and suppress air defenses before slower, larger loitering munitions arrive.
Note: The Hadid-110 saw its first major operational deployment in March 2026, marking a shift in regional drone warfare from low-cost endurance to high-speed stealth strikes.
Hadid-110 marks a shift in modern drone warfare combining stealth, speed, and precision into a new generation of high-speed strike UAVs.
