This "Samavat" is the cloud seeding variant of the Shahed-161.
It is the first time I hear it's called Mersad ... there are 2 types of Saghe with different air intake and the bigger one which is Simorgh.Saeghe has a big air intake in front

Shahed-141: 40% the size of the RQ-170, piston engine
Shahed-161: 40% the size of the RQ-170, jet engine
Shahed-181: 60% the size of the RQ-170, piston engine, used in Operation Laylat al-Qadr (2017)
Shahed-191: 60% the size of the RQ-170, jet engine
Shahed-171: Same size as the RQ-170 (1:1)
Jesus H. Christ....Iran made THAT many versions of the Rq-170?!
Has Iran posted a picture of the Shahed-171?
they are too manyIt is the first time I hear it's called Mersad ... there are 2 types of Saghe with different air intake and the bigger one which is Simorgh.
The sheer amount of cost-effective, drone inventory in Iran, will likely be replacing our conventional airforce. Just observing Azerbijians use of Turkish drones tells us how effective they are even in contested airspace and also how vulnerable they are.
While the drones have been effective at destroying Armenian positions, a larger number of these extremely expensive drones have been shot down indicating that a small fleet of expensive drones is likely not the best option, but instead a large number of cost-effective drone swarms will be the future. We can see despite the importance of their drones strikes, their inventory is depleting fast through satellite images of their airbases, and the cost of purchasing each are in the millions.
Iran can deploy hundreds of drones to a small battle space like NK without much discomfort to any losses. I'm very happy that we are taking this route instead of building aircraft. Focus should be 100% on drone warfare as many other nations are stuck in their old ways of conventional airforce, we can go full speed on bomber and interceptor drones
drones are good for destroying enemy equipment but for infrastructures, you need heavier payloads thus bigger birds.The sheer amount of cost-effective, drone inventory in Iran, will likely be replacing our conventional airforce.

That is what Ballistic and cruise missiles are for.
That was in reply to Mithridates comment about infrastructure targets.Ballistics are good for fixed targets, not small moving mobile units.
CMs require pinpoint targeting info which again would mean a drone in the air if your trying to target a mobile unit.
CMs and BMs against mobile units (tanks, infantry,etc) on a rapidly changing battlefield is not ideal.
there was an estimation of how many BM are needed to destroy US bases around us, for 5-6 base we should launch almost 1700 BMs. that is a big chunk of our stockpile.That is what Ballistic and cruise missiles are for.

i say we should focus our BMs to cripple enemy's war machine and economy and use the simple and cheap means to destroy their bases.
Iran does not need to destroy their airbases with TBMs, they just have to suppress them. We saw how long the Americans were hunkered down in their bunkers in AL Assad airbase just from 11-13 TBMs. lucky for Iran it has an Airforce + UCAVs + Cruise missiles that can spring into action while enemy's Airforce and Air Defense systems are Suppressed by TBMs and Anti radiation TBMs. the only real threat to this scenario would come from VTOL capable F-35s operating away from airbases.there was an estimation of how many BM are needed to destroy US bases around us, for 5-6 base we should launch almost 1700 BMs. that is a big chunk of our stockpile.
