I recently read the same thing about the British SA80 rifle. MoD under pressure to abandon SA-80 rifle

Here is a picture of the drone, an Ababil3 I found here. It supposed to have "stealth" features. Iran Ramps up Drone Production | Danger Room from Wired.com Ababil (Swallow) Unmanned Air Vehicle [UAV]

What sort of drone did the Iranians use? Any pics of it?

250Kg yeah that was it.

Question: The Val could carry a 500 lb or 500 Kg bomb? I read both figures being used.

The Bofors 40mm is still used in the AC-130 gunships and is pretty much the same weapon from ww2.
