They need to build more of these short range Majid truck mounted SAMs in my opinion. Each unit should also try to use electronic warfare methods first to deflect or shut off the UAV before using a manpad ? I don't know just an idea.
Yesterday Ukraine showed off this tiny UAV with stealth features, it flies really low and is controlled by a laptop. One tiny drone spots the targets and gets the gps and then another one comes and drops off a little grenade sized load onto the target. Saturating an enemy airspace with hundreds of these, imagine, the fact that they're so tiny, even if larger SAMs detect them, will they deploy a missile worth tens of thousand each for a grenade sized munition ?
I'm telling you mass saturation is the future and it's here. It just needs to be implemented properly to completely devastate an enemy force. Imagine thousands of them going out over a prescribed area and identifying and then targeting certain types of targets using basic AI, That's insane.
The only issue is mass producing enough and then deploying enough to get the job done. Like I said yesterday. China sells the Wing Loong 2 for $2 million, probably costs them less than $1 to make it. So between 1 J-20 for $100 million or 100 Wing Loongs, which one would be more worthwhile ? Does anyone realistically even want to risk a $100 million dollar asset along with a cream of the crop pilot who had to be hand picked and then trained for years ?
At the same time you can't believe everything you hear everywhere. The Saudis for example, they'll say one day they destroyed 25 Houthi positions or then the next day say they destroyed 45 Houthi trucks and then the next day after 20 more Houthi assets.
Here's the issue I have this that. When the USA can royally **** it up as bad as they did in Afghanistan, rememmber in Afghanistan when they killed those 8-10 childen and the woman as a response to the ISIS attack on Kabul airport ?
The percentage of innocent civilians who are harmed in drone strikes is also pretty significant, it can be over 30% and that's among countries like the US/UK. Imagine the Saudis, probably most of their targets are just civilians or could be on a given day right ?
Iran could use 9 Dey, Iranian tor, Iranian iron dome, Majid.
Yet there have been reports of explosions at IRGC bases for weeks and months now.
Satellite imagery doesn’t lie, it’s all the same style attack where something hits the factory from above likely a suicide drone.
