The Pakistan Navy is advancing its autonomous strike capabilities with a new kamikaze drone that draws conceptual cues from Iran’s infamous Shahed platforms.
Known as Mudamir-LR, the system features a sleek blended fuselage with a delta-wing layout, rear pusher propeller, and vertical tail surfaces.
Based on released imagery, the drone appears relatively compact, measuring about 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) in length and a wingspan of roughly 2.5 meters (8.2 feet).
It is designed to hit targets at ranges beyond 600 kilometers (372 miles) and incorporates AI-based navigation for operations in GPS-denied environments.
The displayed models also carry distinct visual elements, including shark-mouth nose art and the drone’s name printed across the rear wing — details that give it a more defined identity.
Built for precision strikes, the platform is intended for engagement against naval vessels, coastal facilities, radar sites, and expeditionary supply networks.
Dual-Role Testing
Pakistan reportedly tested the Mudamir-LR earlier this year during naval exercises in the North Arabian Sea, where it was used both as a target drone and as a strike platform.
In its target role, the system was engaged by LY-80 (N) naval surface-to-air missile batteries before subsequently shifting to offensive strike operations against assigned targets.
This dual-role testing reflects an effort to assess its resilience against modern air defenses and how effectively it can execute strike missions in operational settings.
Mudamir-LR made its debut at the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
