Shahed-136 - Tracking usage & expanding understanding.

You mean the part where the U.S. supposedly lied about Iran will give Russia drones?

No, I mean the part where Iran gave it's Bavar-373 to Russia or RPG-7, or Hezbollah fighting alongside Russians. lol

former unipolar power US and occupying apartheid regime of Israel and coup regime of Ukraine want to blame everyone for their failures.

IRGC flight to Moscow today, likely delivering flowers and pistachios.

if I recall correctly from the iran-iraq war movies, we called artillery been and pea and such things , not pistachio

 

[925boy]

I remember when i read some comments and ideas of Donbass warriors a couple of years ago in a Russian forum, they claimed to receive munition from Iranian IRGC.

interesting but not tooo surprising i guess...IRGC Might be returning favor to Russia for help in Syria too.

I don't know it was true or just a part of the western propaganda .

maybe

One thing i am sure about, is that Iran is completely engaged in a geopolitical conflict with west from Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon to east of Europe. A covert alliance against NATO is most possible.

And this is why supporting the side against Ukraine is in Iran's direct interest- the Ukraine war is a drain on NATO, simple and short. THis Ukraine war is the CHEAPEST (and apparently financially lucrative too) way Iran can drain NATO if you really think about it- it puts Iran in a strong win-win position- because it can drain NATO by supplying weaposn to Russia, while also draining NATO and US's abilities to attack Iran because they are being drained in Ukraine.

Because an example is ammunition - If US and EU have already dipped into their national ammo stocks to help Ukraine, then what ammo stocks will they use if conflict with Iran or China erupts today? - a low supply at best. This is Iran defanging the tiger with just getting "scratches" - suuch a high "value for money"/ROI.

The Iranian military industrial complex genie is out of the box now, because the Iranian govt and military have opened it up for Russia- An integrated Russia- Iran combination+ cooperation is very bad for western interests, i keep saying this, but the issue now is that it has become a reality, and it was never like this for the past 3 decades +.

Ukraine will die faster death on the battlefield, just remember that.

Another day, Another Shahed

This time arrivals were recorded in Nikoleav area. Ukrainians say 2/3 were downed, but obviously arrivals did occur despite their claims.

In the operational command confirmed three arrivals of "Geraniums" at facilities in Nikolaev

It is reported that enemy kamikaze drones are moving in the direction of Vinnytsia, take cover!



Indeed, it is quite comfortable for Shahed-136 to enter into central Ukraine. One must ask how honest these Ukrainian claims of downing them are.

Shaheds seem to be getting through Kiev's air defenses fairly easily

No to mention Iranian weapons being provided to Ukraine as well.

So looks like, not only these drones, but alot of UCAVs would be sent and also missiles,

Does make sense since Putin has run out of missiles. As he said that he was done massive attacks on Ukraine for now. In other words he ran out of such missiles, why else say such thing? It be like FDR during WW2 saying "we will stop bombing Japan for now." Does that mean he has empathy for Japan or just ran out of bombs for now?

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he had "no regrets" over his deadly missile attacks on cities and civilian targets across Ukraine earlier this week, but said there was no need for more "massive" strikes for now.

Putin has ‘no regrets’ over missile barrage in Ukraine, but says no need for more ‘massive’ strikes for now​

Kyiv, UkraineCNN —
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he had “no regrets” over his deadly missile attacks on civilian targets across Ukraine earlier this week, but said there was no need for more “massive” strikes for now.

The wave of missile attacks on cities across Ukraine began on Monday in response to a blast on a strategically vital bridge connecting the annexed Crimean Peninsula to Russia over the weekend. It’s unclear what caused the explosion, but Putin on Monday blamed it on Kyiv and called it a “terrorist attack” that could not be left unanswered.

The intense bombardment that followed over the next two days killed at least 19 people and leveled civilian targets across the country, drawing global outrage. The strikes also caused major damage to power systems across Ukraine, forcing people to reduce consumption during peak hours to avoid blackouts.

Putin said that while he did not regret the strikes and believes that Russia’s actions were correct, he did recognize that “what is happening now is unpleasant.”

I tend to agree, He will resort to this Shaheed solution.

I also think he does have missiles, but he is saving them and not permitting them to fall below a certain inventory threshold. He still needs them incase the war opens on a new front. So he could have some left, several hundred, but is keeping reserves and will use Iran for the meantime, which is the smart thing to do.

October 17th, Mass kamikaze air raid in many provinces of Ukraine, particularly in Kiev, but also in other cities as well.

24 Videos Collection,
Be sure to swipe right or tap the arrows to see the next one.
Videos are not in order, but one can see that they are used in sunrise, and in the morning probably in small waves.

Incredible pictures!

Another video showing the use of likely a Shaheed (Based on the explosion/fire size) Guided by a reconnaissance UAV. The frequency of these videos is increasing. Can indicate the Russian are getting more adept at using these in a network in conjunction with other UAVs.

The Russian do not have a Kamikaze UAV that can produce such a large fire/explosion in their stocks except for Shahed-136/Geran-2

This footage has come out very recently.

Its not unlike any Russian UAV I have seen, and it appeared to fire a air launched missile (ATGM). It also doesn't look Iranian in my opinion, but I post it here because it is definitely new. Russia as far as we are aware, does not have Air launched missiles for its UCAVs

Ukraine could upload the software of those things to github.

So everybody could collaborate in the reverse engineering of those flying pistacchios.

If they receive orders by a data link it would be wonderful shooting them down that way.

MANPAD vs Shahed.

The interesting thing is that it's always one side which talks about shortage in both side!
