Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

U.S. stealth tech used in the trident that was shot down by Iran using an Iranian BUILT SAM system flying at over 50,000ft! So yea that wasn't just any aircraft or just any RQ-4

Do you have proof that it was flying at over 50,000 feet?

While that is an altitude it can fly, I read in this instance it was flying just over 20,000 feet to gain better intelligence pictures.

Both the RQ-4 and the MQ-4 are designed to fly at extremely high altitude and above Airliners and gather intel at those altitude so they don't need to come down to get better intel! And their service ceiling is really higher than what they have on wiki These are UAV's with a price range of $120Million to $220 Million so they have no need to reduce altitude to gather intel for they are designed to gather long range intel from high altitudes

Now the U.S. to save face is going to claim that this was an outdated RQ-4A that was flying lower than usual and that is only natural for they do NOT want to loose their fear factor!

As for what prof I have other than the word of mouth NOTHING! But I can tell you from the wreckage shown that the UAV had extensive RCS reduction added on.

That's something in line of MQ-4C an RQ-4 don't do such things.

If you can read farsi according to Iran it was at an altitude of 52,000 ft when hit!

Damn bro, and they only fired 1 missile. They have this much confidence in their systems.

I kiss the hands of IRGC.

As long as the Americans don’t directly rebut it, then they are indirectly confirming it!

With the 3rd of Khordad systems my worry has always been on the Missiles of the system and not the system it's self and it seems Iran's continuous upgrading of the missiles have so far payed off & that's a path Iran needs to continue down on! And no doubt being able to hit a moving low RCS target at +50,000 feet using a "highly mobile" domestically produced Air Defense system is impressive and it sends a clear message because these are systems whos radars (PESA radar on the launch platform) don't necessarily need to stay on for any more than a few minutes and can quickly pack up and move so targeting them will not be so easy. And Iran is only just getting started on SAM systems so just imagine what we will achieve in the next decade or two.

IRGC as always did a great job at defending our Air Space and making it known that there are redlines that Iran will not allow anyone to cross and that goes for everyone even the world most powerful superpower! And that Iranian built Air Defense Systems are more than capable of going up against U.S. low RCS aircraft just incase the Americans had any doubts that it could.

And if our guys put a little effort on design, and our government puts a little funding toward mass producing components like processor, solid state hard drives & memory storage,.... Iran could become a major weapon exporter in various high tech fields. From SAM systems, Helicopters, Frigates, UAV's, UGV, Communication, IT & Cyber security, PGM, ISW,...

As long as the Americans don’t directly rebut it, then they are indirectly confirming it!

Why trust anything the Americans say? Clearly it's in their interest to claim that this was a low end early versions of the Global Hawk that was flying lower than usual & that's why Iranians were able to hit it with their SAM's....
These are people that sold a decade long areal bombing campaign against Iraq to their own people and the world as a Humanitarian No Fly Zone! Why trust anything they say?

I did not say I trust them!

Drones move at a speed of 150kmph which is too slow and can be easily targeted. Regardless of what RCS reduction is there, it still has enough RCS to be spotted. It is not like some 5th generation plane level stealth. 50000 feet is 15km altitude and every SAM has that much altitude strike at lower ranges. Considering that it was slow moving, there is nothing to brag about. If these drones were flying at 15000 feet, MANPADS would have hit them too.

it had jammers, towed decoys, RWR and LWR systems, it had 60000 fts of service ceiling and it was not that helpless you assume. and we are bragging about it because they were saying iranian made weapons are propaganda, photoshop and other type of nonsense.

Except that you must change 150km with 600km
And you also must add that the drone was equipped with the most advanced warning and counter measure available to the drones around the world .

dude WTF 150 Km !!! this one have speed of 600 km , Drones you buy from Amazon can do 150km !

 

[MKALE1]

Debating here about its speed and altittude is nonsense. Being 20000 ft and 120 kmph of this drone (i think this is wierd) does not proof that IRan defence systems can not shoot 50000 ft and high speed targets.
Raad SAM seems capabale enough for all USAF assets.

btwn Congrt. to IRanian brothers. it was good job.
