Is the IRIAF looking to add 3 Kowsars soon?

Why not build a drone with 2x owj engines instead that can launch a range of stand off weapons.

 

[Hack-Hook]

I don't know any!

I mean Akhgar can deliver 7kg of warhead up to 30km away and have a speed of km/h

also we have supersonic Shafaq that have the range of 10km but fly at the speed of 2.7mach make it nearly impossible for target to make any reaction to it.

also we have Heydar Missile with 12km of range

How would a AH-1J/Toophan-2 find a tank sized target at 30km?

the Ah-1j must find it and feed it to the missile then the seeker in the missile do the rest of the jobs when it come near enemy tank. don't forget AH-1w is capable of firing Maverick

It can’t find it. It lacks a radar plus the EO/IR iran uses on it is limited to very short ranges.
All anti tank missiles in the world used by Helos have a 10km max range.
Except Spike NLOS, which doesn’t rely on the EO/IR used by the Helicopter.

This missile is for situations when pilot sees the tank and locks on it.
30km missile is for other situations when there are scouts, otherwise pilot has to count on a lot of luck!

Because owj is not fuel efficient, which is priority for drones.

Also maintenance goes up once a jet engine is incorporated let alone 2.

Also owj is not stealth (too much heat given off) plus acoustics.

Any Iranian jet engine drone should be ultra altitude (U-2) and using upper atmosphere air as an oxidizer to reduce fuel and achieve supersonic speed much like HGV currently use.

well , It come with FLIR but I'm not aware about the quality of FlIR we use on it so I can't be sure
but all these missiles come with their own seeker

for that we already have , different version of Toofa-n , Qamar-bani-Hashem which is an airborn Dehlavieh, Heydar which is a heavy weight 8-12km missile and Shafaq which is a fast mach 2.7 missile
