Lmfao, if merely mounting unguided munitions on a drone is making it a UCAV, then the first UCAV would TDN-1 from 1942, that could drop a 1000lb bomb.
Also, the RPG-7s you mounted on that drone were basically useless
To be UCAV you need to be reusable.
They had kills in Iraq war with DVT and radio guidance.

How the MQ-9 Reaper Works
Early unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) primarily carried out reconnaissance missions in war zones, but the Reaper packs some serious heat. Is there anything more foreboding than a drone with a Hellfire missile?
science.howstuffworks.com
During the American Civil War, an inventor patented an unmanned balloon that carried explosives that could be dropped after a time-delay fuse mechanism triggered the basket to overturn its contents. Air currents and weather patterns made it difficult to estimate for how long to set the fuse, and the balloon was never successfully deployed.
Iran, deploying something in the late 1980s cannot have invented something which was patented in the 1860s.
Remembering the Death of Lt. Joe Kennedy Jr. and America’s First Combat Drones
Seventy years ago, on August 12, 1944, Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. perished in one of the first American fatalities associated with a pilotless aircraft, which we usually know today as a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The older brother of future president, John F. Kennedy, was...

Iranians have long been smart and resourceful.
Too bad under the mullahs they are mostly busy with beating their own women, and trying to outdo the salafis in antisemitism.
their drone tactics is mis-used to support russian colonialism and terrorism against ukranian civilians….while nato and israel will test and greatly improve their drone counter weapons/strategies….

American patent is a design and patent and no proof it was ever built.
That as well as Japanese balloon bombs are not reusable and don’t have real time control.
More like cruise missiles with no control.
Austrian version in 1900s had very limited radio guidance and not reusable to our knowledge. Not sure of ever built and is only a design. However no use in any war.
UCAV is controllable and reusable.
First ever documented controllable reusable drone (UCAV) is this:
1980s
American UCAV comes in 1990s.

Conveniently ignores the TDN-1 from the 1940s.
Also who said UCAVs have to be reusable drones?
American civil war patent
TDN1 project abandoned because it failed to work:
“Developed and tested during 1942 and 1943, the design proved moderately successful, but development of improved drones saw the TDN-1 relegated to second-line duties, and none were used in operational service.”
Iran made the DVR images controllable.
Iran used it in Iran Iraq war.
Documented it.

Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov are exposed again as liars. They accused Ukraine of building dirty nuclear bombs. As evidence they show the world pictures of broken smoke detectors in Slovenia.

Bruh, TDN-1 is from 1942, falls under the definition of a drone, and dropped a bomb, so garbage Iranian drone strapped with rockets wasn't even the first UCAV, not by a long shot.

TDN1 did not work per US. Abandoned project.
Iranian UCAV with RPG worked in a real war and had kills.
No picture of TDN1 firing. No document it ever fired. No real war use.
Iranian UCAV pictured while attacking. Iran Iraq war. Worked. Could be reused.
TDN1 can be called loitering munition. Then why is Israel saying they invented loitering munitions??

Can you make UCAV in 2022 without evil west's chips? If the answer is YES then I will believe that Iran is the inventor of UCAV.
