Que? Isn't it normally the other way around?
Wait, nevermind. Apparently I'm still sleep deprived because I managed to transpose the order quantities while scanning the tweet.
If demand goes crazy and they are allowed to set any price, a 10x price tag is nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of State Level buyers have a central and mega bank or dozen on their side too, so they can get easy loans for more equipment.
What the frick makes them so expensive considering the quality?
>What the frick makes them so expensive
russia's desperation
cost of smuggling western electronics through 3rd countries.
Iran's under sanctions which makes everything prohibatively expensive due to supply and demand.
>Iran's under sanctions
from china?
Yes.
Because beggars can't be choosers.
beeing under sanctions doesnt mean you cant buy a Mercedes it mean you have one that has been bought in Dubai send to Kazakhstan and smuggled in. so it cost 200%.
so the parts for it are more expensive, because the strawbuyers want extra for the trouble and its high risk because the ambassador of dubai has to explain why the part the ordered are in a Russian drone
market forces anon
both Russoa and Iran were late to the capitalism game abd suck at it as a result.
Iran is paying ten times the price for every part they use and charging the russians ten times THAT price when they sell

epoxy even?
you people swore to me they were fricking thirdies, that cant even tie their shoes, and here they go with their fricking space program again, and the heckin' shahednik

Well it's epoxy, layers of cloth epoxy and carbon fibre I bet you could make it cheaper and better than whatever the hell this is, engine is probably Chinese I haven't seen manuals for it, warhead can be whatever you want to
Bro making plastic shit is so easy that even thirdies can do it thats why all the factories moved to China

This page states the contract for the sneed drones will be paid with 2 metric tons of gold bullion
https://mil.in.ua/uk/news/stalo-vidomo-skilky-koshtuye-shahed-136-dlya-rosiyi/
original
Really want to know how much gold a KN-23 costs, the initial costs would be really high due to needing to buy the launchers and loading vehicles right?
Not to mention extra in case the Russians steal the launcher design lol.
Damn the ruble ain't what it used to be huh. Russia does have some of the larger national gold reserves in the world at about 2300 tons.
Some of those reserves are held by Western nations, no?
No. They're all local.
>Selling a 10k drone for 200k a pop
Never trust an Arab. Especially not when it comes to haggling or negotiating deals.
>193,000 for 6,000 units
That's like $32 each. I don't think you understand how much $32 USD is in Iran, its basically a few thousand.
Its 193K EACH if you buy 6000 or 290K each if you buy just 2000, you illiterate Black person.
If I was Russian I would have some strong thoughts about my government spending $2 billion to blow up random Ukrainian apartments.
The company involved in this contract paid for production schematics, Russia is going to produce their own Shaheds.
https://sanctions.nazk.gov.ua/en/sanction-company/11738/
they are getting scammed
paying 10x of the actual price
I really want to know how much the Norks are charging for KN-23s and how much a Iskander costs.
>how much the Norks are charging
It is quite obvious that Ruskies exchanged their satellite and rocket tech to norks. In addition of silly amounts of foreign currencies they had remaining.
>foreign currencies
Somehow i doubt the worlds best counterfeiters accept payment in paper.

there was a document leak it's real
that is what "prana" referred to
they are a hybrid cyber & info op
Dont want to be a doubter, but which document shows the actual price. This document just shows a receipt for gold worth roughly 130 million. The link on that post also do not provide any other pages of this document
This has to be just price gouging, no way those things cost more than 10k to make. I also thought they set up a factory in Russia?
Dude, I pilot a drone that cost almost $2000 just for hobby
A guided drone full of explosives that can cross a country for 10k? No way
if they were really 10k to make don't you think russia would be launching more than a few a day? we know they're poor but come on
So Iran, China, and India are taking advantage of Russia's desperation? Lol. Lmao even.
Everything becomes more expensive when you have to go through middlemen to get the parts to make them. Every time a part changes hands the cost goes up. What might have started as some electronic component worth maybe $50 on the open market can easily become $500 if you don't have access to it.
all parts can be bought from chinks for cheap
If everyone else gets to charge Iran ten times market price why the frick would the chinks give them RRP?
They are gouging the absolute frick out of Russia and Iran just like everyone else, there is no loyalty amongst thieves
So? Russia has trillions of dollars in reserves + trillions more deep underground in the form of natural resources, etc. She can buy millions of Shaheds and produce millions more of Gerans, which is essentially the same thing.
yes moron cope more
>trillions more deep underground in the form of natural resources
Russia can't extract shit without help from the west.
I presume this is a false-flag post, since it's too stupid.
>So? Russia has trillions of dollars in reserves
They're blowing them to prop up the economy. And they also have gold reserves which they are using to evade sanctions. These will not last forever.
>trillions more deep underground in the form of natural resources
Their education system collapsed decades ago, and they lack the investment to get them out without Euro-American investment. And Ukraine has recently started hitting refineries too.
>trillions more deep underground in the form of natural resources
Just that oil and gas is probably the last thing Iran wants from the Russians. They have enough themselve.
Who is the "she" in your sentence?
Do you have carpet on the walls?
He definitely do have carpet on the wall. And a conscription notice to avdiivka
Russia is not going to be great again because you shout how he has squilions.

>drone cost probably is over $150k for Iran, as bare minimum
Damn spot on with a markup of ~$50k.
Might be closer to the 200k number before the markup because of trying to smuggle electronics around the sanctions. I don't know if they're good enough to actually cut costs in other meaningful ways to bring it back down in terms of manufacturability optimizations.
>indigenized Russain components
How are they fricking this up? I have to know because of the Russian ability to turn everything to shit. They're hypothetically capable (Haas CNCs and other imported machinery) of making the engines fully domestically given how old of a design it is.
> making the engines fully domestically given how old of a design it is.
The Norks stole an entire advanced ultralight/paraglider company from the RoK and shared with Iran (Norks enabled the Hamas attack) so it's possible Iran is using Nork engines or more likely domestic copies.
Note that any engine marked 'made in china' could very well be a Nork bootleg. So no matter where the engines come from it isn't Russia, their 'domstic production' could be quite expensive as they might be setting up to make Russian copies of Iranian copies of Best Korean copies of Worst Korean engines.

Try using smartphone grade INS and GPS in a Cessna to land precisely moron.
>>Land precisely
Kek
What about instead of "land precisely" you just want want to crash that Cessna into an electric power station sized target? Would that work with smartphone grade INS and gps?
Try it in a jamming environment and see how well it works. You still need to hit the vitals of the plant rather than doing the equivalent of a clean shot through someone's ass muscles. You can already get the shittiness of phone INS the moment there's no A-GPS via the towers and the GPS lock shits out.
>hitting anywhere in a substation is a success
You are a moron.
They are interesting engines. MDR-208 flapper sealed rotaries. They wear out quickly but on the edge for power to weight in other words perfect for suicide drones.
Chinese origin, I hypothesize Chinks prototyped simple rotary long ago and it wasn't any good in terms of endurance (typically aren't). But - there was interest and steady orders, and it went from there.
CAR has an addendum to the panel of experts on yemen reporting, updated for the indigenized russian components (which are making the unit cost go moronic)

Adding on
Russians can't even hold the locations they claim anymore. You have the Russian troops and where they aren't. The front for them is 360 degrees now. Everyone wants them dead including other Russians who are hungry or low in ammo or just cold.
This war will go 4 or 5 more years. After Russia loses 3 or 4 million they'll call it peace
>Russia can't make them
>get fricked on price
Hahahahaha, they really should be $10K to $20k but the Iranians have been learning from the israelites.
The shaeed has changed a lot since it's inception.
You can find Chinese copies for 50k.
The shaeed went from:
a super low tech Chinese motorbike engine with wings married to a satellite phone and with gps for guidance guidance and a couple of actuators for the control surfaces which could cost around 30k in total. That drone could only fly in a straight line and dive on to a target. This drone was useful for swarms towards very large immobile targets like a electric power plant or an airport.
To a drone with a lot more components in order to be able to keep working trough gps jamming, the ability to set up waypoint and altitude much more precisely, able to hit much smaller target, some inertial guidance system and the ability to glide into a target from different angles. Also the satellite positioning system was greatly upgraded to the point that it can strike much smaller targets and it had a data link for dynamic change of waypoints.
All in all it does still the same job but now it is useable even against an enemy that expects it to come.
However the price ballooned to the point that it kind of defeats it original core concept of a very cheap long range gliding bomb that can be sent out in large enough numbers to overwhelm AA.
Now at 200k+ the shaeed is only cost effective against ballistic missile defenses.
But also it might be they are just ripping off the Russians or that the price is so high because people in the Russian MOD are getting massive kickbacks in order to place order which would have been the case for sure at least before the war.
russia can build lancet but not his?
it's the same thing but bigger
Does it even matter how expensive they are if they're causing multi-million damage each and Ukraine has to use expensive western AD to counter them?
yes because they could have 10x more of them coper
Why would they need 10x more? Ukraine is relatively small compared to Russia, and Ukrainian military facilities are closer together, so it's still advantageous for Russia to launch Shaheds, no?
>Why would they need 10x more
to hit something you moron
because they are as moronic as the tripgay and need iran to do their dirty work
Depends how much money you have and what target you are hitting.
At $200k you are paying as much as a Brimstone Missile which can hit moving targets.
>Spend 6 million to do 2 million in damage
A ZU-23 from 1960 hard counters a Shahed.

Then why are they paying out the ass for Iranian drones
>robust guidance system and navigation system and reliable warhead makes drones expensive
Reliable warheads are easy, making them complex is what screw these things up i.e. Iskander..
Please specify the difference between guidance and navigation systems.
>Norks charging golden premium on Russians
If they have the product why not? For instance if as it appears KN-23 is better than Iskander why not make them pay, who else is selling?
NTA, but I believe the guidance system takes information from the nav system and does guidance, ie, moves flaps, throttles engines, where the nav system is calculating positions and directions, if needed, to get to the next waypoint, feeding headings and speeds to the guidance system to act on. GPS and INS can tell you where you are and need to go.
Also curious about an earlier post talking about INS in a phone. I know the phone has inertial sensors, just not sure what the computational component is or does. Phone doesnt need an INS to know someone just picked it up. The sensor can signal the phone. Landing a plane, I would imagine is some app applying its own comp unit to the (probably marginally adequate) inertial info from the sensors and gps units.
But, idk.
>I know the phone has inertial sensors, just not sure what the computational component is or does. Phone doesnt need an INS to know someone just picked it up. The sensor can signal the phone.
A GNSS/INS SOC will use a combination of positioning signals and its IMU to estimate and report its position. This allows a phone equipped with one to maintain a useful position estimate if positioning signals are lost, disagree or yield garbage until positioning signal usefulness is restored.
*laughs in Gepard*
idiots seething that actually building a reliable stand off attack weapon requires more than a raspberry pi and trick fricked Samsung Galaxy.
Dronegays are a subset of missile spam gays, completely detached from the realities of making high Pk and CEP weaponry. typical.
Lets say they are going all out with full range point to point INS and no GNSS updates during the flight.
You are going to need a ring laser gyroscope and these are not cheap at $30k for 1 as a civilian and likely still $20k bulk as a nation.
This is the big cost and it should be the bulk of the total cost.
Or they just use GNSS/GPS/ect to fix the launch location then use ground stations for in flight corrections. For all we know they could be using civilian broadcast transmitters for triangulation.
Why would you need fancy inertial guidance on a subsonic drone when you could can just use the phone camera + a map of the terrain to know where you are
Anyone who thinks you can replicate all-weather, all-target, very high high pK cruise missile effectiveness with a Rasberry Pi and a cellphone is obviously on crack, but if you already have decent recon satellite coverage, then yeah, you should be able to do it for most civilian targets, depending on the absolute minimum pK criteria, accepable cost:pK relationship for an average target and acceptable met condition limitations.
Iran isn't Russia, so sneed drones need to use GNSS. Russia has satellites, and so could considerably cut parts complexity by using optical terrain and target matching for guidance. Or at least, it could if all of the decent programmers and computer scientists hadn't left the country over the last 30 years while their education system collapsed.
What does make this document valid and not some fabricated psyop? Its just yet another screencap of pdf posted on the internet, might as well post one that states they are $10,000,000 each

Russians kleptocrats don't like to produce something cheap, you can't steal much from a ~160-200k drone, but with the same drone with some jet engine possibilities are limitless
It likely is complete bullshit, the fun of the thread it watching people defend the alleged price.

Why would anybody feel the need to fake something this mundane? The only people who’d think this is fake are vatniks and turdies who don’t want to accept the fact that they can’t building something out of literal garbage for a handful of dollars that they think will make the US, or what ever boogie man they choose, shake in fear. Things cost money. labor costs money. Building effective weapons with skilled labor and advanced parts costs even more money!
Oh yeah guys it's totally fake~
Don't mind all the promo material demonstrating a long range data uplink with a drone acting as a repeater~

I guess that Putin has secretly been a libertarian all along? He's bringing Russia back to the gold standard.
btw i never understood this talk about cost effectiveness of shooting down shaheds with muh expensive missiles. i mean who cares how much shahed costs if it could cause millions in losses if this shit manages to hit anything important. not mentioning cases where these shits were straight up slamming commiblocks
>i never understood this talk about cost effectiveness of shooting down shaheds with muh expensive missiles
because if shaheds are cheap they can send more drones than you have air defense, what is there not to understand?
You are not factoeing effectiveness, you could say tennis balls are so cheap you can just bury an abrams on them, but in practice the entire cost of the operation becomes so labor intensive and prone to failure is not worth it, similarly drones can be dirt cheap but if even swarms of them are incapable to do the job then it's not worth it, ask the chinese and why SK still exist and they lost NK territory and still havent retaken Taiwan, no matter how cheap a chinese farmer boy with a rifle can be or how many you send in if in the end they all get killed and you have nothing to show for. You just lost time and resources
It’s vatnik cope that Ukraine will run out of money for ammo before Russia does
I wonder if Russia transports gold in IL-76s.

>PUTLER LIED TO ME
those shaheds cost *WAY* more than he told me!
The one thing that isn't being factored into the unit cost of the drones are launching platforms and control stations.
They are obviously far more expensive than originally claimed, but it's impossible to get the true number
there are many shahed versions out there
a "jet" version too I believe, that might have got *ACKed on the ship
The jet version is covered in the leaked documents
No prop and intake
The Iranian side announced a starting price of 23 million rubles per piece (375 thousand dollars per piece).
During the negotiations, an agreement was reached at the level of 12 million rubles per 6000 pieces (193 thousand dollars per piece) (either 18 million rubles or 290 thousand dollars for 2000PC).
Total contract price (technology, equipment, 6000 sets, initial code) is 108.5 billion rubles (1 billion 750 million dollars).
The cost of 6000 products is 72 billion rubles, 50% advance is 36 billion rubles.
Investments of JSC Alabuga amount to 48 billion rubles (36 billion rubles + 12 billion rubles complex of buildings and structures).
To accommodate production, 160,000 sq. m of ready-made facilities are required production areas. After technology transfer it is planned scaling production to 10,000 boats per year.
So it really is 200k per drone. Fricking Russians got SCALPED on that deal
its drone parts and tech transfer to Alabuga plant in Russia. not a final product
Wait, they are fricking knock down kits?
Basically.
It seems the body is being built domestically, probably the warheads too. But the electronics and motors are still all being sourced from Iran, and China.
Almost a year ago i read a leak that they were paying Iran $1000 a round for 122mm, over $50k for new D-30 barrels and $85k for 125mm for 125mm barrels. So the Norks must be close to $10 billion by now right?

Why can't the Russians use sneed drones on the frontline? Couldn't they just plug in some GPS coordinates of a trench and have it fly there?
because frontline is where most AA and EW is concentrated, while sneedheads are slow flying drones
They did. At first, they used shaheds on frontlines, they destroyed a lot of tanks in first weeks of use by sheer surprise factor. But the problem is, you always adapt to a new weapon in a month, lowering its usefulness to some capacity. In shaheds case it became utterly useless.
>At first, they used shaheds on frontlines, they destroyed a lot of tanks in first weeks of use by sheer surprise factor
lmfao, ha yah, they used a GPS guided drone to take out tanks on the move, totally
>tanks on the move
how do you know they were moving and not in static firing positions?
>Static firing positions kept for long enough allow for russian horrendous communications and nonexistent killchain to score a hit
yeah
tanks aren't on the move 24/7
They should focus them on targets that aren't immediately important but still of value in the long run. Grain silos and tractor garages in non combat areas, fire departments away from the front in small towns, car dealships, rural gas stations ect. That way they might get through while degrading infrastructure on a nation wide meta level.
Like some sort of 'deep battle doctrine ' assuming Russian minds can understand such a concept.
Do we have statistics for this? Genuinely interested
>They did. At first, they used shaheds on frontlines, they destroyed a lot of tanks in first weeks
>GPS guided
>CEP of 10+ meters on stationary targets
>destroyed tanks
>burned in destroyed hangars and buried in destroyed underground parking lots
shahasneeds warhead is too small to cause much damage. especially to an underground parking lot. you would use an Iskander or other cruise missile.
anon they use lanshits for that.
There has never been a sneed drone used on tactical targets at or near the line of contact. Ever.
It would be the world's most expensive mortar round

>Patriot has intercepted 14/16 shaheds
Patriots are usually intercepting Il-76s these days, shaheds are shot down by manpads and Sparrows rigged to Buks.
I'm sure they use Patriot PAC-2s on some shasneeds but it's mainly HMGs, AAA and small MANPADS type systems that are intercepting them.
>Patriot has intercepted
you are a moron
Actually, sweaty Ukraine only uses $90 million GBI missiles against shaheds.
>5.45x39?
>That would be 20$ per bullet, 15$ if you buying 10million or more at once
>its nice having buisness with you, globalsoth comrade
>all intercepts are by Patriots
why are browns like this
their life is nothing,they serve zero purpose.turdies should kill themself now
What do the potato chips do? EFPs?
$20 chinese drones already use optical flow like an optical mouse does. Its not much of a leap to do DSMAC
200k per unit would not make it a bad investment. One of the main reasons for buying Nork equipment despite lower quality was inability to scale up domestic shell production fast enough, and it's the same with iranian drones.
Especially in the capacity of distracting ukrainian AA resources towards big cities and away from planes launching glide bombs.
> distracting ukrainian AA resources towards big cities and away from planes launching glide bombs.
Ukraine isn't using the same AAs to destroy shaheds (slow and low altitude) and Sukhois. The Kalibrs/X-55-101 are by far the most dangerous russian PGM

Nearly a billion blown on this shit and it did exactly fricking nothing of note beyond killing some civilians occasionally. What does that cost break down per rando civvie killed over their usage in the SPO, multiple millions? An Yvan in Ukraine is worth like a hundred Ivans in Russia per Moscow's budgeting.
They sent many for every electric station. They also probably send a ton of them every time they want to hit something with a bigger, better bomb.
>payment is made in gold
I'm putting together a team.
Imagine how great it’d feel to steal a billion in ziggerrands
2 tons of gold is 175 million, not 1.75 billion. Its more like 20 grand per drone.
What is it about these drones that triggers westerners so much? If they're effective, why the reddit type ridicule? If they're useless, why bother talking about them?

>Leaked Iranian emails reveal they cost 200K to 300K a piece.
[expresses doubt]
I was surpised at how fricking huge they are, but the only expensive part is the engine, and that's only around $10K or $20K depending on the model. FFS AliExpress was selling them; the Iranians just bought one and copied it.
You're confusing different models of sneed drone. The full costings for the current model by component have been posted in this thread, and the minimum cost is $150k.
they are like 50k on aliexpress
Should have buy chinese then
