first glance looked like chamrosh but obviously it can't be that. seems like something modified for long range attack, also why the wreckage is (almost) untouched??

most of those are the one's that were failed to reach there targets as SA said

The Saudis Themselves claim that all 18 UAVs hit their target so why is that drone shown in near complete pieces if it hit its intended target?

Because there wasn’t a secondary explosion? Not all of the drones hit massive tanks. Some hit specific areas to cause critical but not catastrophic damage to the area. Ie. iran purposely kept the damage low on certain targets.

The engine is clearly a variant of TJ-100, giving us some ideas about the missile weight and performance. Information plate is not clear enough, but does not look the original manufacturer:

So they used a "Suicide" drone without a warhead? How does that make any sense? Your claim that they wanted to minimize the damage also makes 0 sense considering they have shut down 50% of Saudi oil production for at least 6 months! You keep repeating U.S and Saudi claims as if its the gospel!!!

well we did reverse engineered that so it could very well be Iranian version of it

This is a decoy drone.

This is a decoy drone.

What "Decoy Drone"? the Saudis were absolutely clueless that there was even an attack until their refineries went up in flames!

 

[Caspian Parsi]

those are new drones aren't they????

Looks like it, The only slimier drone in Iran`s arsenal is Toofan which is used for the same purpose


Toofan (tempest) is an Iranian UAV which has been developed to find and destroy the enemies through optical explorer. In this type of mission, the UAV is designed for battle and with small dimensions, it could approach to the enemy without being detected and its high speed makes nay reaction extremely difficult.

The houthis announced that decoy drones were used in the attack

To accuse Iran directly, the North moved during SaudiArabia Conference and in such a way that the Khurais strikes are no longer coming from the South West,

When they resort to forgery it shows how credible the rest of their claims are.

I have not heard it will be 6 months, I heard weeks.

Certain areas of the terminal, for example the area where hydrogen sulfide is removed from the oil (a critical step as refineries cannot accept Saudi oil if it has this corrosive chemical in it) was hit critically but not castrophically according to reports. Meaning it would be offline for a period of time, but not so long so that would justify a counter attack.

Another was the tanks, they were penetrated but the damage was not enough to cause the entire tank to be obliterated.

Iran’s attack was a message to the world protecting tankers in PG is useless as Iran can easily reduce oil production all across Middle East if it so chooses. It’s making good on it’s threats.

Iran’s goal wasn’t to destroy abqaiq or cause such massive damage that the US/Saudi arabia would be pressured to attack iranian oil facilities.

You have to learn to read the geopolitical chess game instead of being narrow minded and thinking everything US says is lies and Everything Iran says is truth. In end, take what everyone says with a grain salt, but move forward assuming it’s true till it’s not.
