The one in the air is the same S-129 that was unveiled last year and had static landing gear.
The one with retractable landing gear is a bit larger, but since we don't know the exact dimensions, it's hard to tell how much bigger it is.
The one in the back has static landing gear while the one in the front is retractable. It's hard to say for sure because of optical illusion, but I guess the prototype in the back is a bit smaller.

Lets hope we see nice drone camera footages of terrorists and drug smugglers getting blown up into dozens of pieces hehe.
Btw, Ahmadinejads administration and his defence ministers were total garbage, always the damn useless rhetoric. Now Dr.Rohani knows how to play it efficiently
The one in the air is the smaller shahed 129, you can tell by it's curved landing gears.
The bigger ones landing gear is not curved. Anyhow, their size is not that different, I assume the larger one will be 10-15% larger.
How did you come to the conclusion it's "much" smaller?

Well one thing is sure its a legit unveiling unlike previous disasters like painted S-300 drums , stealth jet and of course pizza drone.Congrulations to Irannew goverment seems to have more sense than previous ones but it will take more years to erase Iran's fake unveiling reputation.
BTW while watching the video i couldn't help but notice when UAV is landing at 3:31 landing gear stretching out way too much that landing gear seems to be too weak it will crack from inside at every landing and someday break.You guys better replace it with something more strong.
For information !
Bavar-373 will be ready in 2014 ... & F-313 is not a fake ...
they just unveiled so bad & too early ... Hamase was a real disaster ... they did this to bother ahmadinejad !!!
anyway ... don't sentence too early ...
Just remember someone said : S-129 is a 60 cm RC model !!!
about the landing gears ... this is just a prototype ... we solved the problems in operational system
SHAHED-129 producing in diffrent sizes ... don't bother yourself ...

Look in @3:35 in the video. Reporter asks about RQ-170. The other IRGC (the one who is not answering the question) has this grin.
I think something more delicious is cooking...

The drone you mentioned was the earlier version, this version has no curvy landing gear.

Both of them will be in the production line ... the earlier version is cheaper & more economic
For example , cost is important for african countries ... & civil users

Guys, the ratio between the FLIR ball and body diameter of both planes seems to be same. Same goes with the upper air intake. The wing span also look to be very similar. I think what's happening is that due to the height difference between the 2 landing gear, the older one is sitting somewhat lower than the one with retractable gears. And that may give the illusion that it is smaller.
