This is basically a Gepard. Problem is no one seems to have any to spare.

Ukraine needs alot of these, rotating positions around key areas they want to protect from drone or cruise missile attacks

Ukraine needs Iron Dome.
The Jews are best trained and have means against suicide attacks.

Ukraine needs mobile CIWS + Missiles combined

Turkish SUNGUR mobile Air Defense System to intercept Shahed-136 kamikaze Drones within 8 km

Rumours of Iranian short range missiles entering the war soon. Ukies better pray its fake news cause if they dont like the shaheds, they are reeally reeeeallllly gonna hate fateh

Depending on the model. Its a large 100-150kg warhead coming at you at mach 4+. Just look at craters on the american base to see the sheer power of them.

Best of all, Iran has thousands of them and can mass produce them easily and cheaply.

No wonder all Russian allies are telling their citizens to leave. I see alot of painfor the ukies.

Iran is depending on US electronics for its drones, so mass production could soon be a problem.

Ouch!

What happens to natural gas price?

Crashing to $129 now.

Down from $352, when Putin began escalating blackmailing the EU.

will be a welcome move. Turks drones are well received in Ukraine. I am surprised that Putin still smiling when meeting Erdogan. Ukraine needs to strengthen air defense quickly. Seems Iran mullahs are keen on more terror bloodshed they will send ballistic missiles.

Is Shahed-136 Stealth?
Does Shahed-136 have counter meaasure?
Can Shahed-136 communicate with fighter?

1. Yes, it does. Not only does it have very low IR signature thanks to its engine, that makes most MANPADS have trouble locking on its signature (as was demonstrated on video over Kiev). If you have looked at the wreckages yourself, you can see what body is made of which is a combination of fiberglass exterior, interior carbonfiber lining and honeycomb RAM. You will see very similar structure in the Bayraktar TB2. This enhances what is already a relatively small UAS.

It's RAS is also good. It is clearly what one would regard as "stealth".

The degree at which it is "stealth" of course varies on alot, but does it exhibit stealth technologies? Yes.

2. It does have anti-EW module inside, the Ukrainians themselves have verified this after capturing malfunctioned older Shahed-131 relatively intact.

3. It can communicate with recon UAVs and receive targeting coordinates from them. Most Iranian suicide drones are like this, they typically have antennas for communication despite having no optics. The cost of search & destroy have been split into two parts instead of what is typically regarded as a suicide drone like the IAI Harop where the whole kill chain is built into one.

If you are asking these questions, then why are you so confidently speaking about what it is. Everyone has become an expert on Iran overnight.

There are lots of solutions but there is none that covers all of Ukraine. Especially when the Russians are targeting random undefended civilian facilities with the Shaheed drones. These attacks are meant to weaken the resolve of the people to fight but it is having the opposite effect.

The unrest in Iran is preventing the US from taking any action that will redirect Iranian civilian ire from the Iranian regime to the US. For now we bide our time.

 

[Stryker1982]

nd I would say even Accomplished Drone such as Switchblade or TB-2 is not expensive at all to counter, it basically depends on how you can do it. You can either soft kill and hard kill any drone.

Fair point, but it is worth using a BUK to kill a TB-2, not for a Shaheed which was verifiably used over Kiev to down 1 (confirmed). The underlying issue with these class of systems. Probably the need for direct energy weapons will be the accelerated

Belarus army is on the move. Massive troop concentration just 10km from Ukraine border. North of Kiew.

The unrest in Iran is exactly the time, you've got it backwards, most Iranians do not see the US as the enemy and would prefer their support.

Not only Ukraine but also 34 Countries bought TB-2 UCAV from Turkiye


Turkiye can change balance of power in Ukraine for Russia
but Turkiye doesnt sell weapons ... Turkiye is neutral

-- BAYKAR increase production capability to produce 500 TB2 UCAVs annually

-- Guided MLRS , TRLG-122 , TRLG-230 and TRG-300 with range of 40-70-120 km to hit even moving targets

-- 150 km J600T and 280 km KHAN Tactical Ballistic Missiles

-- KARAOK shoulder launched anti-Tank Missile ... similar to American JAVELIN

-- 1.000 km KARGI anti-radiation Drone with RF seeker .. 200 km variant with E/O System

-- ALPAGU and KARGU tactical kamikaze Drones

-- 100 km Aselsan STR weapon detection Radar to find HIMARS MLRS


And game over for Ukraine ...

1.) Stealth is NOT just about RCS; you also have to take care of "Heat and Noise Signature" and you can't have that on a 2 stroke Engine.

2.) Lol, if you count that off the shelve anti-Jamming device is Anti-EW module the Ukrainian found, well, then yes, you have them.....

3.) If it did not have optics, which mean it can at most receive and compile coordinate, it cannot do what we called "Pathfinding" into their target. My wife Volvo GPS can do that. What I am talking about is the communication link akin to L-3 linkage, where you can literally guide the drone to the target either with active or passive guidance. If you cannot guide the drone onto target with passive guidance, that mean whatever "Communicate" with your drone have to be on target until the drone hit it, then why not just have your monitor hit the target with direct munition instead? Bear in mind the reason to use suicide drone is to limit the exposure of your force, if you have to put something on target, you may as well hit it with that and go home, because you are already risking that asset on target.

I am not an expert on Iran, I AM AN EXPERT ON DRONE. I know how they work and what they work.

Again, ZSU or CIWS type system is enough to bring down the drone, it's not fast, it's not maneuverable and it does not have decoy.

The US can kick out regime officials and their children who are grazing on the freedom of the US despite the ''death to USA'' slogans by their daddies back home.

Why don't you kick these hypocrites and their families out of the US or those other Western nations? Or is it that you need them in your double games?
