Seems it is still piston engine. They split the air intake in three small inlets over the fuselage and shrink in both sides just to make them less detectable. They put the vertical rudders at both sides of the horizontal rudders to hide the propeller also.
Seems to be much more stealth than other Shahed members. But it calls me specially the bulb over the nose. That means that it is probably fitted with satellite node in serial production (remember that Shahed 129 most of them have not satellite node antenna). On the other hand the drone seems to be specially chubby. That means a lot of MTOW. Or has a lot of range or have internal weapons bay. Finally that heavy weight aspect could indicate also a more powerful engine that the universal Rotax 912/914 family. A issue that has been a really bottleneck for iranian drone industry. Anyway this last oppinion it is just purely speculation. Just guessing. It is a complete new drone and seems a mix between Ababil OWA and Shahed 129.
Not yetAny info on the warhead weight/type?
