Iran launching missiles towards ISIS positions

7 Saeghe drones with 2 x Sadid PGMs in their weapon bay. Thats still 14 PGMs with 30m kill zone against soft targets. Probably with a cheap to operate prop engine and 1000km operation radius.
Plus they are likely stealthy enough to do the job without being intercepted by NATO forces in the region.

WRONG!

Watch the video again, the first few seconds you can see the Drone taking off. It is clearly jet(micro?) powered by the sound it makes. Prop engine doesn’t make that type Doppler sound at take off!

A few seconds after a POSSIBLE prop one is shown flying based on the noise it’s engine is making.

It’s possible two different types were used to test battlefield efficiency.

This drone up till today was clearly a secret. As the only indication of it was a crude model prototype. Very well designed (has 4 lights of two different colors for air identification). Iran has mastered internal weapons bay technology.

Yes, we already know since 2016 that there is a jet powered Saeghe and a prop one.
The prop one is the cost and range effective one.
So without further information we don't know if prop or jet Saeghe was used, as you noticed there is typical sound of both variants in the video.
We don't know if they started from Iran or Syria.
We don't know if they were pre programmed to deliver PGMs on coordinates or hunted down fleeing daeshis after the missile strikes via real-time data-link.
We don't know if the data-link connection (if at all) was from within Syria or by some kind of system directly via Iran.
We don't know if a Simorgh variant was used as well.

Judging from the released video it looks like one of the jet powered Saeghe variants at the moment.
 
Where were the missiles launched from? Where were the targets? Which missiles were launched?

Ballistic missiles cannot accurately target positions. Only cruise missiles are able to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy at long ranges.
 
Stealth drone was Simorgh not Saegheh.

Sound of Propeller belongs to a variant of Shahed series with a V-tail (Shahed-125 most likely)

Newest generation of Qiam was used.

I don't understand this eastern Syria ISIS part, it's been 6+ months that it's besieged. A tiny pocket which the SDF (Kurds) are supposed to clear together with US air force support yet they're taking ages to advance into some little village.
Not only U.S backed forces don't finish them, but even allowed them to launch their operation in Ahvaz city of Iran.

Iran relies on radio/radar to guide its UAVs and radio doesn’t have a large radius. So the operator must be within 250-500KM of the UAV.

Furthermore, given that Syria is a heavily electronic warfare battle zone, the operator would likely be EVEN closer (likely in Dier Ez Zoor area of syria).

While it is possible the Simorgh/Saeghe has sat data link system, it would have to rely on GLONASS/GPS which even during Peacetime is a risk given the theater in which it is operating in.

It’s possible the UAV took off from Kermanshahr and went into autopilot. During the flight it checked into radar ground stations operated by Iran in iraq and GPS/GLONASS for redundancy. Upon getting close to Syria, the operator took control did the munitions drop and landed the UAV at military airport in dier ez zoor.

Just guessing.

Stealth drone was Simorgh not Saegheh.

Shahed-125 even latest generation doesn’t have internal weapons bay.

maybe they need 20-15 years to be able to finish ISIS control of a lil pocket in Syria lool Kurds are super power
 
i didn't know simorgh had an internal weapons bay, any other videos released of it before today?
