The Iraqi Ministry of Defence released a video showing a CH-4 armed with AR-1 laser-guided missiles and FT-9 bombs take-off... The UAVs played a large role in the war against the Islamic State extremist group, but were put in storage in 2017 because of their age. A contract was signed with the manufacturer in 2021 to return them to service and the work began about a month ago. The Iraqi MoD unveiled the CH-4s in October 2015 but did not reveal how many it had acquired.
