Iran's drone power

[Philosopher]

Iranian "stealth" UAV shot down by Israel:

The fact that the UAV entered your air space undetected and you had to resort to to using thermal systems over radars to detect and track it actually does point to its low RCS i.e stealthy capabilities. This is not the first time. Do you recall the "Ayoub" UAV that entered deep into your territory and went close to your Nuclear reactor? You ended up having to a use a thermal seeking missile from an F-16 to shoot down such a low cost UAV.

The next appearance of a Hezbollah drone on October 6, 2012, was a spectacular foray that took Israel by surprise. An Iranian drone called “Ayub” flew south from Lebanon over the Mediterranean and into Israel via the Gaza Strip, moving westward about 35 miles into the Negev and penetrating to a point near the town of Dimona, the site of Israel’s nuclear weapons complex. There it was shot down over a forest by Israeli aircraft. Examining the wreckage, Israeli military said that it was possible the drone could have transmitted imagery of the nuclear research center.

Furthermore, no one is claiming these systems are invisible and invincible. Even an F-22 that gets close enough to a radar will be detected. The point is making life harder for the adversary to detect and target such systems.

Iran drone better than turkey drone right?

We would encourage everyone to not argue over what is 'better'.

You can do a simple comparison of publicly available specs from credible sources and leave it at that.

Mojaher-6 Male armed UAV. This one is a cheaper alternative to the Shahed-129
It has an endurance of 14 hours and is made of composite material.

Guys stop the comparing just post specs videos and pictures together with Infos

Such threads can be so good informative

Mohajer 6 is Bayraktar sized. Shahed is Anka sized.

In September, a new UAV called Shahed-149 which is larger than have Shahed-129 will have tests. Hopefully, we will see glimpse of it.

I suppose it has SATCOM to link with Iran's new military satellite.

If you're referring to the "Noor" satellite that was just launched, that one is a small spy satellite, it is not for communication. Those satellites are coming, but we're not there yet.

It was detected long before it crossed the border. Thats why helicopter arrived in time and destroyed it.

This is not the first time. Do you recall the "Ayoub" UAV that entered deep into your territory and went close to your Nuclear reactor? You ended up having to a use a thermal seeking missile from an F-16 to shoot down such a low cost UAV.

Thermal seeking missile is least costly mean to destroy it. It did not come anywhere close to reactor, just flew over empty desert.

Iranian "stealth" UAV shot down by Israel:

your iron dome covers all Israel so why you used python-5 (IIR guided) to bring it down?? seems like it's really stealth.

Computer chips. Thermal.

apart from DM, our rayan roshd afzar company which is a private one has a ~20 years record of making IR sensors.

Thermal seeking missile is least costly mean to destroy it.

tamir missile of ID=100k USD
python-5=1 million USD

Sadid-345 UAV smart bomb, range 8km.

About the same. Turkey used to get parts from EU and US. Iran gets parts from its main backers China and Russia. After Israel lobby Turkey cannot get parts from EU and US anymore due to Turkey's expansionism policy.

Iran has its own UCAV technology . and better than many countries including India and Russia


but not about the same with Turkey , yet Iranian UCAVs dont have SATCOM capability but Turkish ANKA-S , AKSUNGUR and AKINCI UCAVs have SATCOM capability

and AKINCI UCAV will be one of the best in the world

SATCOM
AESA Radar
6 multi-core Artificial Intelligence Computers .. ( only the US and Turkey )

AKINCI UCAV will be able to collect information by recording the data received from sensors and cameras on the UCAV through artificial intelligence computers

This artificial intelligence system that can detect the angle of tilting, standing and heading of the UCAV without the need for any external sensor or GPS

also AKINCI UCAVs will carry even 65 km GOKDOGAN air to air missile and 280km SOM Cruise Missile to hit Attack Helicopters or UCAVs and Air Defense Systems or Warships

even Turkey develops 100 kg KUZGUN joint attack ammunition ( IIR or MW Radar seeker + datalink ) to hit even moving targets from 70km away ..... good luck to Russian mobile air defense systems PANTSIR , BUK and TOR ... They will need it



btw Turkish ANKA-S and AKSUNGUR UCAVs are 100% indigenous from Electro-Optics to Mission Computer , from SATCOM to SAR Radar and from Engine to Weapons

and AKINCI UCAV will use only one foreign part ..its Ukranian Engine

so Turkey doesnt get parts from the EU and the US.

Turk fanboys all over the internet spreading Turk propaganda because they got nothing better to do because Turkey has 30% unemployment rate 60% youth unemployment rate.

Balabam UAV bomb. This has a range of 100km. It is the Iranian equivalent to the American "small diameter bomb":
