I still dont' really understand the application of Karrar in terms of a ground attack role and how it will be operated in the broader IRIAF.We need an array of them from multiple directions plus AI and image processing to harass an F16 effectively.
They can communicate creatively as well like US since they will be jammed well.
Detection range is limited to this camera on the tip and communication creativity.
Also subsonic and we need an array from different directions.
For example, would it only be used to conduct sorties in airspace where they do not want to risk a manned aircraft? Shouldn't the IRIAF really be doing air drills with Aircraft and UAVs working together instead of running drills on them separately as if they are two different branches? Is it to just dash in, drop a payload in a requested area and dash out at high subsonic speed?
What is the top speed of the Karrar, if flying low to drop a payload, could it evade SHORAD systems just on speed alone?
Launch and preparation time seems to be long, for something like a Karrar short prep time is very important although I don't really know how long it takes to prepare a sortie once the target coordinates are provided.
