Iranian UAVs | News and Discussions

Well let be honest. The engine is only suitable for drones.
Wonder how would shahed 171 performance would be if they put an owj instead of Tolue 14 inside it

Agreed. You can use it to keep the F-5's flying, but not great for the modern age. So If they are willing to use Owj for an expensive UAV, I think it could lead to fascinating designs.

Doesn't S-171 use Jahesh-700? or am I confusing that with "Simorgh"?

Experimenting with a large UAV, that can dispense smaller UAVs would be pretty cool. Seems to be the future trajectory for cutting edge militaries.

Shaheh-171 is Simorgh. Yes it does use Jahesh-700

This one really did give me a good chuckle,definitely a case of closing the stable door long,long after the horse has bolted[or the drone has flown the coop? ].
Meeks, McCaul, Deutch, Wilson Introduce Legislation to Sanction Iran’s Drones and Suppliers
Though it rather clearly sends the message that they are now,as always,rather begrudgingly not to mention belatedly,acknowledging both the capabilities of irans drones and the industries in the iranian military industrial complex that produces them.

According to the pictures tolue-14 if we agree jahesh-700 provide as much power as fj-33 then tolue-14 provide around 15% less .my guess is they didn't get the methalorgy quiet right yet.

People say about ToT on engines . I believe our need n a ToT on methalorgy is far more dire

They wanna sanction something which has been sanctioned already, even multiple times already lol, so tough!

Almas 2 drone launched variant

 

[sha ah]

It's really laughable. It's like trying to squeeze water out of a rock. Let them do it. LOL

Note, theses pronouncements are more for public consumption which are not without value.

Iran Inaugurates Drone-Manufacturing Plant in Tajikistan​

The Ababil 2 UAV production plant was inaugurated in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe on Tuesday.

In order to strengthen and develop joint defense and military cooperation between the two countries, the plant was inaugurated in the presence of a group of Iranian and Tajik officials.

Addressing the ceremony, General Baqeri said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the efforts of its committed specialists and scientists and by using its internal capacities, has been able to make a significant growth in all military and defense dimensions, specially production of drones.
"Today we are in a position that we can export military equipment to allied and friendly countries in addition to meeting domestic needs in order to increase security and lasting peace," he said.

General Baqeri called opening of the Ababil 2 plant in Tajikistan a turning point in military cooperation between the two countries, and said, "God willing, in the future we will see more cooperation and interaction than all military defense levels between Iran and Tajikistan."

30 small drones "largest drone swarm ever"

I`m glad to see the us military has a sense of humor.....

Think they deploy more than that.

The helicopter video from your link, wow that changes everything now. Pretty much can hit far beyond the SAM systems. Back then it was Hellfires with only about 10km range.

 

[sha ah]

The Ababil 2 UAV has proven its worth in Yemen. The Houthis have their own variant they call the Qasef 2k. I wonder how much each drone costs to build. The Armenians would have done much better with a few hundred of these.
