Make's sense, but I also believe that Anti-Iranian sentiment (racist sentiment) is still very much prevalent within the discourse regarding anything to do with Iran, especially Iranian made products both civilian and military.
They also said the same thing about Iranian missiles until too many high-profile real-world use cases piled up against that narrative and essentially killed any notion that they were "shit".
'A few bugs' could mean literally anything, and 'numerous failures' doesn't really say much for us as...

Many news stations are now running this story/report.
Whether true or not, a narrative is being built regardless of what we might feel about it.
Lmao, bro we posted this at the same time!!
Off topic but you should go take a look at the thread about recent rumors surrounding an eminent transfer of Iranian drones to the Russian Federation, Salar-jann (good to see you again btw!).
So much ignorance... That's why I've drastically decreased my presence here on PDF as of late.
"proper intellectual discussion" Really, that's what all this white noise has been about thus far, a proper discussion? I'm not going to SOD off just because you say so. I'm not insecure, and this isn't the first time nobodies came into the Iranian sub-forum to throw around baseless assertions...
Every time some news of this calibre comes out regarding Iran, people on PDF crawl out the shadows to belittle Iran as if it's a small throw away nation that doesn't matter at all
One of the single most hilarious things to see play out, time and time again lol.
Unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States differ from American attempts to condemn Iran using U.N. as the vector of attack. Completely different set of rules applies if one can garner the condemnation of multiple nations at the U.N. as opposed to America going at it alone essentially. UN...
If this report from Sullivan is accurate (to whatever degree) then one must assume that high-level talks have been going on between Russia and Iranian officials surrounding the urgent transfer of Iranian made drones for "something" in return. Whether this be TOT or a lucrative weapons deal, who...
Quite the revelation!
I was genuinely worried for the series after Kentarou's unfortunate passing but I know he had left the team his outlines for how he had wanted the series to end or the direction it was to go in. So that's good news all around.
The war in Ukraine is more of a classic Russian artillery engagement. The reliance on combat aviation isn't needed as much when you have thousands of artillery emplacements doing the vast majority of work against enemy fortifications along the front. -- Cruise-missile/Ballistic-missile launches...
At what point do assassinations and sabotage stop Salar-jann? that is essentially what many here (me included) have always been pining to get an answer for or at least an approximation. So many shahids yet the enemy keeps moving right next to our kin as if they're ghosts on the walls of our...
If one wants to be more optimistic about this developing situation. Then you could say that, Israel pursuing such an assassination policy against Iranian drone R&D figures comes more from desperation rather than prevention. Trajectory of drone development and the technology in and of itself must...
Others here whom I deeply respect are way more better suited to comment on this than me but I'll share some thoughts of my own the matter.
From what I can garner, there are clear merits in the mass saturation of drones within the combat space, over the use of more technologically capable...
