          The Shahed 136(above) has a max flight altitude of 4km, Stingers can only engage in targets 3.8km high and Gepards 3km high. They would be most effective stationed at the target it's diving on.
          The Mohajer-6(below) can fly at above 5km and drops guided ordinance so it wouldn't be threatened by MANPADS. I guess this is why the big push to get Ukraine medium range systems like the NASAMS.
          Thank goodness the Russians think terror bombing will work for some reason instead of targeting logistics...

            Max altitude isn't the problem. Russia is flying the 136 at low altitudes with the Mohajer-6 for guidance. They do night attacks because the TDF MANPADS teams are short on night fighting equipment and they found that the 136s could get through defenses.

Iranian drones? Best case scenario they hit targets caught off guard and at worst act as decoys for enemy AA. NK shit? Shoots about as well as anything else from the 60's, minus 60 years of aging since their shit rolls out of the factory like that. Russian and Chink high tech bullshit? Probably will have a high failure rate, underperform, and be an all around disappointment when actually fielded.

              Half of those "angry ragheads" are relatively modern people, youth who themselves wouldn't mind a little regime change. Iran's also much richer than its neighbors relatively speaking; I don't think the US even needs to destroy the Iranian military, just a few surgical strikes on centers of the government's power and the people will do the rest.

            Well they destroyed a military HQ and two ammo depots and they can be launched from mainland Russia to outrage HIMARS.
            People criticizing the noise don't get it. They're loud because they purposely fly close to the ground to evade radar. They're exactly what Russia needs, which is cheap and repeatable munitions. Not some super tech trying to compete with American tech, which it was inevitably going to fail at. Iran understood this 10+ years ago when it got into drones.

            Iran has solid state fuel rockets and laser guided missiles. Iran has achieved A2/AD and it's why USA never invaded it. These Shaheed drones cost next to nothing to make and they're propeller driven purposefully aimed at the ground. Iran did it by itself, isolated by sanctions.

              these aren't monumental breakthroughs. solid state fuel rockets are not impressive technologies (it's how what most missiles use) and laser guided missiles are old technology that iran has had from other countries for decades. it was only a matter of time before they would start reverse engineering to make their own. I bet even nigeria could build those if they put resources and time in to it

              > Iran has achieved A2/AD
              care to post evidence of this? and how this would make a us invasion impossible.

              >it's why USA never invaded it
              no the us never invaded iran because there is not good reason to at all. They would need a reason to invaded which they don't have. they can't even use 'muh weapons of mass destruction' because they already use it once.

              >Iran did it by itself, isolated by sanctions.

        Its easy to shit on Iran just being another freedom hating desert dictatorship that can be rolled up in a 2 month air campaign. However the current Iran power structure and their dealings in the region are partly a product of decades of US middle eastern foreign policy and the need of several US presidential administrations for a scapegoat country in the region. By no means Iran is a country with a clean record, but how it came to be the way it is, isnt as black and white as many US Americans perceive it to be.

            Its not just the '79 revolution, it has been a chain of events spread over decades. The nuclear deal signed during the Obama administration was a step in the right direction with Iranians from all levels of society literally partying on the streets when it was signed. That was until the following administration unilaterally blew up the deal (without discussing it with the other signatories) because easy political points could be scored among the Fox watching home audiance + oil producing and US arms buying states on the other side of the Gulf. If it wasnt for that clusterfrick, there was a good chance momentum from that deal would have carried on till today leaving Russian without drones many months ago.

      That's the because the Iranian shit ONLY can accept preprogrammed GPS coordinates for guidance. They have no optical or infrared guidance at all. This means they are 100% useless against literally anything that moves.

      yeah, havent seen a lot of switchblade usage
      on the other hand most footage we get is from 2nd or 3rd rate units and i would assume switchblades arent handed out to just everyone
      same why we see little western gear being used overall, except for the occasional released official himars/pzh2k footage and ofc the small arms and MRAPs

      Better than a grad rocket

      but probably also more expensive?

        Switchblades are designed to be low collateral, man portable drones for taking out HVTs. In the absence of that they're more useful for recon than merc'ing some rando.

      They're guided, not point and shoot. They fly under radar. That's how they hit a military HQ and an ammo depot with them. Tactically they're extremely useful but Russia doesn't use them correctly. They should be fired in groups so some make it through AA and reach destination. If Russia had a real military they'd be monitoring how many make it through AA and determine an efficient amount to send to ensure they hit targets. Instead they send them one by one and at useless locations like Odessa. They don't even know what to fire at. They have no Intel or anything

                So fricking what if it is guided or unguided. The V1 metaphor is that Putin is just throwing away advanced technology, which is not free, on hitting civilian targets in worthless terror missions that don't change what is happening on the front line at all.
                Ukraine uses drones to lob grenades at squads of soldiers, causing attrition and panic.
                Russia lobs drones at Ukrainian cities to be shot down at worst and at best hit an apartment block, causing the fire department to be called in. Amazing.

                I made that same point. Russians are using things incorrectly. V-1 was never going to be useful though. Too expensive to produce and too inaccurate. Even the V2 killed more factory workers than enemy. Iran is intentionally making simple drone designs. I'd liken it more to T-34 which wasn't the greatest tank in the war but it was a super simple design and easy to fabricate. Shahed is exactly the weapon Russia needs but they aren't using it well at all. Just terror bombing Odessa right now. Achieved nothing

This is as opposed to what was planned, which was iraqi oil revenue used to pay American trans-nationals. So it is Iran looting Iraq instead of USA. USA was outsmarted by both IRGC and the Taliban because they figured out long term strategies which the USA could never deal with and ended up wasting $6 trillion for nothing.

          Well it isnt hard for their government to point at examples (like the ones you listed) to justify them being in power as a means to stand up to big bad USA who has undoubtedly been meddling with their internal affairs since way before the Iran revolution. There was a glimmer of hope among the Iranian people back in 2015 with the Iran nuclear deal, only for the US pulling out (as the only party among the signatories) just a few years later because Trump boasted it was "the worst deal in history and he would negotiate a better one".

However their political hardliners always maintained the upper hand because better an oppresive government in a united country than a divided country that would become a playball of foreign powers. Hardliners only have to point at the still smouldering ruins of neighbour countries as a result of US middle eastern foreign policy to legitimize their ruling. And that comes on top of all the other stuff the US and allies has pulled over the years from shooting down a civilian airliner, killing their scientists to planting computer viruses to hamper their nuclear program. Yes their government is a bunch of c**ts, but they are their own c**ts that can stand up against the even bigger c**ts from abroad.

    Shahed is what the switchblade was supposed to be. The drone is good, but Russia doesn't use them correctly. They're using them for terror bombing because they don't have the intelligence for targets to aim at. They don't know where anything is. They're also launching them 1 by 1 instead of as a swarm which allows aa to prepare. But the drones themselves are good

        That's because there's been a plebbit tourist invasion by people like yourself on this board, people who aren't in military. Switchblades were entirely disappointing it's why they are barely being used. Their dets are tiny. Shahed is also retrievable, it can loiter. It's not a fricking missile, it's a drone with propellers you fricking idiot.

        From what Ukrops are willing to admit, Shahed drones have destroyed a military HQ, a ammo depot, in a single brigade they destroyed 4 X Howitzers, 2 X BTR armored vehicles. Ukraine has only managed to shoot down 60% of them that's by THEIR estimates. They're cheap and simple to make and do damage when used correctly.

        The problem isn't with the shahed drone, it's how Russia is very incorrectly using them.

            You are using cruise missile in different contexts. You are mocking it was a cruise missile and he is promoting it as a cruise missile. You are entirely missing the point, it's not a wonderwaffen. You are setting up strawmans. The whole point of this weapon is that it's very cheap and accurate, so the cost to benefit ratio is immense. By Ukraine's own estimates mentioned yesterday they are only shooting down 60% of them and that's when with Russians incorrectly using them. Russia should be using them to swarm so they reliably make it past AA but instead they're firing off in different directions in terror bombing. Likely because they don't even know what to target (poor recon).

            You're confused because your info is coming from plebbit news feeds and you aren't reading actual public updates from different governments and comments from actual people in military. stop using plebbit it's propaganda

    They aren't useless but they aren't anything game changing either. It looks like most likely the Ruskies practically ran out of cruise missiles so they are using cheaper (and less effective) alternatives. The destruction they can cause is much less than what Russia did with cruise missiles at the start of the war, so it's nothing unprecedented.
