Iranian drones will significantly strengthen the army of the Russian Federation: Ukraine is already answering
Read the best materials of the section on the Focus. Digital page on Facebook, after invading Ukraine in the Russian army, a sharp lack of resources in several areas, including unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the White House, the Russian Federation wants to eliminate the deficit by receiving several hundred drones from Iran, including shock, capable of carrying weapons.
Let Iran be a list of the most technological countries of the world, but its drone industry is very well developed, the devices themselves are tested in battles all over the Middle East. Such drones can help Russian troops find targets for artillery, as well as Ukrainian military equipment, including high -precision installations, recently transferred to the US and Europe.
After the Cold War, Iran appealed to Russia for help to restore and strengthen his army after fighting against Iraq, but in the case of drones the situation is the opposite-the Iranians began to develop a program of unmanned aircraft in the 1980s, while the Russians were missing the moment And now they are trying to make up for the lost. The Islamic Republic has developed and put for sale dozens of different models.
There is information that in May, the Iranian drone production plant opened in Tajikistan. According to sources, in June and July the Russian delegation visited the Iranian airfield Kashan, who served as a key base of Tehran for the preparation of UAV for various Middle Eastern terrorist groups. The Russian delegation was inspected by SHAHED-191 and Shahd-129 combat drones, which were used in fighting in Iraq and Syria.
Recently, Russia began to actively use its own drones "Orion", but they managed to make little. At the same time, "Shahid-191" and "Shahid-129" can carry high-precision bombs "Sadid" with a range of 6 km. FDD experts warn that Russia can use these or other Iranian drones to support troops from the air and intercept Ukrainian UAVs.
In addition, they are able to impress the famous Himars reactive artillery systems, which actively destroy the ammunition depots, command points and other critical objects of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian anti -air defense, which restrains the planes and helicopters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, can also knock down hostile drones, but their loss will be cheaper. Aircraft can compensate for the Russians to the lack of high -precision missiles for manned aviation.
In addition to combat, Iran can offer a large number of intelligence drones for reconnaissance and reconnaissance. At the beginning of the full -scale war, Russia lacked such equipment, but it increased their number during the second phase. According to the Fighters of the Armed Forces, after capturing the target of the UAV Russian artillery, it is enough for 3-5 minutes to lead the sight of the fire, while other means of detection will delay the attack for half an hour.
The army of the Russian Federation has already lost many reconnaissance drones, especially cheap and mass "Orlan-10". Western sanctions that limit Russian imports of electronics can increase the deficiency and reduce Russia's production capacity. At the same time, Russian volunteers raise money and pass small commercial drones that are suitable for intelligence. Iran also has many disposable Kamikadze drones like Shahd-136.
Judging by how Russia uses barge ammunition, their aggressor is also lacking. Iranian drones such as Toofan or RAAD-85 can increase the destructive power of Russian troops, but will end quickly. Iran claims that there is a UAV in order to detect radar radar systems. These models could help Russia's Air Force compensate for their weakness in the suppression and destruction of enemy air defense, which, for their part, potentially reduces the threat to manned aircraft.
Analysts believe that the West should prepare Ukrainian forces for confrontation with Iranian drones, providing additional air defense systems and EWS. For example, Western Avenger or M-Shorad. In addition, the probable sale of drones is attacked by the United States and their allies to restore the UN embargo to Iran's supply, as well as impose sanctions against all persons involved in the drone agreement. Australia has already sent special means to suppress Russian drones to Ukraine.
The Sydney technological company Droneshield reported that within the military contract, she sold several complexes to Ukrainians that block signals that connect drones with operators or land drones. According to the CEO of the company Oleg Vornyk, the Drone Gun gun and other manual radio equipment were able to effectively affect the drones of the aggressor, because Russia uses poorly protected foreign components for production. The Ukrainian military mainly rated Droneshield products.
"Even Russian military drones use commercial parts. Our equipment is quite effective for identifying and defeating such drones," he emphasized. Earlier they wrote which UAVs are in Iran and what they were capable of. Some models are equipped with cameras and rockets, while others explode, flying into the enemy's technique at huge speed. Separately reported the possibilities of the most dangerous drones of Iran: "Shahhed-129", "Shahhed-191" and "Photros".
