well shahed-136 have something to talk about first question.
Yes, a lawn mower really does have something to say, OUT LOUD......
a question , Ukraine have no problem for showing footage of every cat and dog they killed in Ukraine .. why when it come to shahed-136 we only have footage of at most less than 10 while they make daily claim of shooting down 30-60 on daily base
There are tons of intercepted Shahed 136 drone footage on Youtube and Telegram
I mean, you just need to go look it up.
Accomplished ? come on again your mentality that something our of iran must be lower grade.
by the way your comparison is like comparing apple and orange , the drones you mentioned cut the link to operator they are fucked up . shahed-136 cut the link , well who care
Problem is, if Shahed 136 cut the link (well, if there are one to be cut) it would basically become a dumb bomb, you can't steer it, you can't control where it land. Then why I would use a Shahed 136 when I can literally use Dumb Bomb that cost not more than $1000 to make? Instead of a $20,000 shahed 136??
Drone warfare are there for you to hit critical target WIHTOUT endangering your other asset, which mean if it got intercepted, big deal, you can send another, then another, then another. That's why you would want to use something like Switchblade because they are inexpensive, and you can guide them. Or if you want to perform ISTAR as well, you use TB-2. Do tell me what Shahed-136 bring into the table both Tactically and Strategically??
It's not about whether or not Iranian equipment is low grade, it's about you can't put them in a category that are useful for Russian military.
heat signature are shown to be low , noise on other hand
Again, if they can be picked up, it's not low.
it can do that if necessary by using other radio source around , there is no need to only consider optic cues for that , you can used cell towers , radio stations , microwave towers ,....
How about Ukrainian with a microwave tower that point to a Russian position??
You see my point there? I mean, I am not saying or suggesting the Ukrainian can just use microwave oven or whatever to spoof that cue, but the point is it can be spoof, and you don't have a direct linkage to the drone, which mean you either have to have someone with the eyes on target and guide the drone in using whatever you said you are using and hope the Ukrainian did not have countermeasure, or you basically launch it and let it rip, and hit whatever it hit.
