Translation?

basically IRGC is going to release there drone videos and picture in battlefield after 7 years, they are seeing Turkish drone propaganda and said our drones can and have done better job in battlefield but we were so stupid that we didn't make propaganda videos out of them so we going to do it now after a decade. and thats why no one knows Iranian drones

man the day Turkey makes anything even close to stealth UCAV they going to make so much videos out of them that you want to put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger but IRGC has them since 2012 and we didn't see even one good video about them they have Shahed-171 for 6 years now and this is the only pic you can find of it, just despicable

We have not used them in any actual conflict yet. At least not publicly.

The bullsh¡tter only brags. The winner doesn´t need to brag infront of nobodies.....
Have you ever seen the Rockerfeller family talk about their wealth?
You know how we knew Trump is poor? He kept telling everyone how rich he is!!!!

It´s the same between Iran and Turdkey. The Torks kept bragging about their UACVs in Syria.... but they lost the batter very badly and Ardugan was humiliated infront of Putin. Iran said very little about its weapons, beause in this case, Iran is the Rockerfeller and Turekey is Trump.

Iranian attack on Saudi Abqaiq was a far more impressive use of UAVs than anything these other regional states have done, put together. Iran has no need to "brag". These other nations like Turkey have to propagandise their capability to make themselves seem more capable than they are. These nations basically import foreign engines and sensors etc put together a UAV, bomb groups with no/little adequate air-defence and then spam videos of it. Iranian IRGC alone could produce thousands of similar videos already if it wanted.

Iran is one of the original developers of UCAVs and a trend setter, nations like Turkey are nowhere near that level. So it's best not to compare Iran to these low tier UAV powers and instead compare Iran to other proper UAV powers like US, China etc.

Shahed flying wing armed variants were used in ISIS attack in Syria. IRGC even published video of it.

we don't know that as they never show us even if they did use them, Turkey did not use them all either but we can all see there videos no matter what.

Its not despicable that IRGC didnt show promo video like Turkish military...its actually very smart...surprise is an advantage in the miliry sphere...dont you know the militaries of Iran's adversaries will be studying every video and military gear IRan shows?? by not revealing its hands, IRGC has element of surprise...they didnt even believe how accurate the fatehs that hit that US base in IRaq would be accurate! so being underestimated gives big advantages...by the time Russia and Iran study these NATO- dependent Turkish assembled UAVs, their game will be up..

agreed but this comes at high cost and that is nobody will be afraid of your drones because nobody knows about it.

as i said good marketing is the key to advancement and new achievements, Iran can sell them and invest the money on new drones but we cant do that if no one knows about Shahed-129 with that money comes a more advance Shahed-149.

Yes, good marketing can help, but it is important that people here try not to judge the full realities of the world based on the limited open source materials that we civilians have access to. There are talks and negotiations going on behind the scenes that people here are simply not aware of. What we see in the open is just a tip of the ice berg. Don't judge the awareness of militaries around the world regarding Iranian hardware such as Shahed-129 based on the comments you read around the internet.

Once the embargo is lifted and Iran starts selling hardware, we will start seeing much more of these Iranian expositions. Iran has the potential to become a very large arms exporter. The American unilateral sanctions are the major barrier in scaring buyers off but even then, I still think Iran can earn $billions just by selling to its very close allies.

Most of the critical damage has come from Israeli drones not Turkish, specifically the Israeli suicide drones. As we saw in Syria those same suicide drones took out numerous Pantsir.

Both did damage. TB2 took out all the ADs in Nagorno-Karabakh, OSAs and Strelas. Both took out tanks,artilleries, infantries and other equipments. But Azeris are using IAI Harops like crazy, and this isn’t a simple suicide drone. It’s expensive.
