U.S. has viewed wreckage of kamikaze drones Russia used in Ukraine​



The U.S. government has examined the wreckage of Iranian-made drones shot down in Ukraine, deepening its insight into the unmanned craft that Russia has launched in a spate of kamikaze attacks on the country’s critical infrastructure, according to two U.S. officials.

Information about the drones’ structure and technology could prove crucial in helping the United States and its Ukrainian allies better identify and ultimately defeat them before they can reach their targets. Officials said the process has been used in the past to study weaponry deployed by Iran’s proxies in conflicts in the Middle East. People interviewed for this report spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence collection.

usa has already inspected that drone in ksa .when one crash landed and fall in their hand completely intact . I assure you even 10 year later that drone will be the same , we don't change componnt and design in production line unlike a certain country north of caspian sea that seems can't build two airplane that are identical in componnet

People who have any moral doubts about Iranian involvement would be good to remember:

Decades of western theft of Iranian oil, wealth and even food in the world wars

France selling jets to saddam in the middle of its war with Iran.

France deliberately selling Iran blood tainted with HIV to spread it in Iran

West germany helping saddam with his chemical weapons

The 40 year attempt at starving the Iranian people

Using several armed terrorist groups in the border areas to attack Iran

Supporting saddams terrritorial claims on Iranian khuzestan

Attempting to destroy the Iranian government and economy and people

The west are the enemy of the Iranian state. Iran should fo everything in its power to help Russia defeat this cancerous tumour on humanity

These savages have done virtually everything to Iran and are having rectal explosions in anger over a few Iranian drones. Thats their racist colonial “garden” ideology coming into play. Non-white euros are considered worthless to them.

Hitler is satan to them only because he did to white people, what they had done to colored people. That act is unforgivable. The british colonialism makes nazi german look like boy scouts, but they dont care cause the victims arent white


Stop believing western propaganda. Even today they have activated their balochi/ kurdish terrorists agains Iran. Iran should start shipping ballistic missiles asap

Anything short of actual Iranian solders directly fighting on the ground should be considered

Not the first time their MANPADS have missed and been caught on camera..... it should also be noted that each Stinger missile costs around $120,000.... while the Shahed 136 costs perhaps $20,000...... so even if they shoot it down, they still lose
Funny how Iranians use the black market exchange rate when discussing the price of their weapons but the official exchange rate when discussing GDP

Not black market official exchange rate . anything that is not coming from this site is just meaningless and waste of space and oxygen
and right now the exchange rate is 287900 rials

Is it good to be involved in the war this much?

The question should be more like "why is it bad?" What does Iran have left to lose at this point? Not only does Iranian miltech get a name for itself, but Iran can test its weapons against NATO assets, and make improvements for future iterations. It also brings Iranian and Russian military industries closer, opening the door for expanded cooperation. Just look at the pro-Iran rhetoric on Russian Telegrams, if Iranian drones and BMs prove decisive then Russian FP will become more favourable towards Iran. The geopolitical aspects are obvious, if Russia is checkmated in Ukraine then NATO gets the booster shot it needs to confront Iran and China,

The downsides are what? Increased isolation? What does that even mean at this point? Does Iran care if a bunch of pissant eurofag cuntries have a problem with it? They can't offer Iran anything without US permission anyway, they can't even export life saving medicine, only baltoids and pooland are super riled up about it, they have even *less* to offer than UK/Fr/GER can. So far the Americans have activated a bunch of fagtivists in Iran and maybe some pissant terror group in the east of the country, big whoop Bush/Obama admins did that for 16 years, what good did it do apart from some bad PR in westoid media?

Since Shahed 136 is traded with Russia, the price in $ is market rate, isn't it? Somebody would know how many $ or equivalent has traded hands.

Benny needs to re-take his meds.

The price tag is not known and the $20,000 comes from western estimates. That's why we go with that number. Many of us thought it was higher in the $40,000 ranges.

Not much going on today.

Just seeing Ukrainian alerts about Shaheeds flights in Nikoleav/Odessa regions and Vinnitsyia. The usual thing

Oh, maybe I spoke to soon.

Kiev city air alarm is activated, apparently Shaheeds are near the area. These shaheeds would have been launched hours ago for them to have reached Kiev. (Unless launched from Belarus)

Are you saying how much money has changed hands (between Iran and Russia) is well guarded secret? Russian Generals are using cell phones for their command and control. Pakistan PM's office conversations are public.
