    "notes": "The Ababil-2 Iranian Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an Iranian single-engine multirole tactical UAV manufactured by Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA). The Ababil-2 has an improved flight-control system. The most common Ababil-2 variant is a target drone variant used for training air-defense crews. Rudimentary surveillance capabilities can be used as a loitering munition but is mainly used as a target drone.",
