In Israel made copies of Iranian drones "Shahaned": why did they need a military

The Israeli Air Force is trained to knock down UAVs that are fully copying Shahd. The Smart Drones Israeli Company creates target drones for the Israeli Air Force, which imitate Iranian drones Shahd 136. These devices are actively used by Russian troops in Ukraine, Zona Militar reports. Smart Drones Services Ltd develops Bvlos (Beyond Visual Line of Sight - a system that allows the drone to make a flight outside the direct visibility of the operator - ed. ).

According to Dudi Ohion, the main operating director, the company also equips military bargage ammunition, Drone-Kamikadze, as well as solutions to check the capabilities of different air defense systems. According to Ohayon, recently the list of air goals for the Israeli Air Force has been replenished with a RS2 model with a delta-wing, which is a very accurate copy of the Iranian UAV "Shahaned-136" used by Russians for Ukrainian attacks and Hezbolla in Lebanon.

Such target drones help the military to understand what threats the enemy devices can carry, and how best to resist them. The chief operating director of the developer said that the sharp increase in the use of drones worldwide has created a very high demand for protective systems and their testing in real combat scenarios. In addition to the Shahaneda, the company recently tested the Predator drone 3. 2 m long, with a maximum speed of 65 m/s and the maximum flight range of 40 km.

Another commonly used target depicting UAV with a jet engine is PC-1. Its length is 2 m, the maximum speed is 100 m/s, and the range of action is 80 km. Earlier, we wrote that the Drones MQ-25 Stingray will be armed with inconspicuous AGM-158C missiles. UAV-filling room will be used by the US Navy for intelligence, as well as to attack Chinese ships in a possible conflict. It was also reported that Ukrainian UAVs tried to attack the International Airport in Lipetsk.
