Depends on the exact timeline, but most reports I have seen (and images provided) show Iran's forces used them by as early as 1984, whereas reports of armed Israeli drones (let alone their use) is actually a relatively new entry in the history of "UCAVs".



Iran's first armed drones were however, relatively rudimentary. They were Mohajer-1 fitted with up-to three PG-7 grenades under the wing. They were used against Iraqi forces (including armored units), with at least some effect. However, Iraqi forces soon learned to listen for the distinctive "buzzing" the Mohajer-1's small engine made their use was then discontinued.
