Iranian UAVs | News and Discussions

請英文,謝謝
In short, he was angry at Iran using Austrian engine and Czech propellers on Shahed-129 and questioning whether all Iranian drones use foreign engines/propellers. The rest is a myriad of explanations about which Iranian drones use foreign engines, and why this is actually not a bad thing to use the already widespread Rotax-914 instead of allocating our scarce resources to develop a domestic alternative.

:guns:

Woodcamp is from the Czech Republic so the UAV is clearly from NATO forces in Afghanistan NOT IRAN!
 
Why our air defense forces need drones? using as target for military drills is one reason .. specially these small drones:

once I targeted them with ZU-23 but why our air defense forces needs drones with bomb our anti aircraft missiles .. doesn't it overlap IRIAF duties?

I think that the reason is killing first attack chance of enemy.
Air defense systems are the front line against any kinds of invasions, so they need different kinds of drones, reconnaissance, interceptors and attack drones. The greatest danger to air defense forces, is cruise missiles which can be lunched from naval and air platforms.
The first duty of these drones should be keeping AD systems safe from JASSM alike cruise attackers.

The annoying point of IRIAF is their weaknesses, actually they cannot stand on the front line however it is asymmetric way to put AD systems on the front lines, due to this fact, air defense forces should do their job in the beginning moments of war like an independent force that knows there is no strong back up force. The armed forces have counted on IRIAF as the secondary air defense layer, Fakour-90 and Sejjil will protect our air space against ballistic warheads and long range bombers. So as a result, Air defense forces should completely act as an independent force, considering the weaknesses of IRIAF.
I hope in the future , we develop something like Russian Pantsir S. Could reduce the dependence of AD systems on these drones against Helicopter and cruise attacks.

Strong IRIAF should be on agenda too as Amir Hatami mentioned.

@PeeD Any ideas will be appreciated.
 
Drones that can carry 1 or 2 phoenix AAMs missiles that are guided from ground based radars is really interesting approach. Drones as airborne platforms only to launch nothing more and then fall back! AAM is launched as stand off weapon roughly guided by radars to target then missile homes in with its radar like SARH type missile and you have ideal air defence that is actually in the skies not on the ground.
Enemy has to look not just on the ground but also in the skies, it can substitute iranian lack of fighter jets until it produces its own fighter jet fleet in both quantity and quality and also continuing developing drones.

are you aware even f-4 f-16 and f-18 with their far more maximum takeoff weight are not able to carry phoenix missile. its 4m long missile with 40cm of diameter and around 500kg of weight each and have a wingspan of one meter
