It is really interesting to see that Iranians have successfully moved in the opposite direction in terms of the quality and quantity of military products compared to their western counterparts.

Western weapons are all about charging the customer extortionate amounts of money for weapons that are on par to much cheaper versions from other places. Unfortunately, when all the anti aircraft missiles are used up, the weapons manufacturers are happy since it means they can supply new replacements for billions of $, which in turn makes them alot of money. The only problem is the lag between expending all your munitions and getting replacements. If Hezbollah used this technique against Israel, combined with cheap rockets, Israel would be out of munitions in a couple of days, and be completely defenseless. It will probably happen in the near future.

I am no war expert nor any military background nor any deep knowledge of weaponry. But I have learned one thing. War is fought with 2 elements. Secular means and spirituality. A man needs to have rock solid resolve to go into battle against an enemy. Weapons help break a man's resolve. They become too dependent on them for victory. But there is another deeper meaning - much deeper. Those who feel the need for victory is the central goal of a war also help break a man's resolve. Because, if victories could be permanent then ancient empires will still be ruling us today. So, what is a victory? What is a loss? US won WW2 with use of WMDs or nuclear bombs, for example, but is in constant fear or pain or agony of China, Russia, Iran and others may pose a challenge to it's reign. Fearful can never enjoy victories nor they can be truly free. US victory is hollow. An already expired short lived victory. US won but at the cost of demonstrating human evil nature of creating total human annihilation type event! A true loss! You could check out Carl Sagan, a popular scientist, documentary on this subject on how science has created threats to humanity! True victory is understanding these basic truths of war and struggle of man. Those who master these will win even if they lose in a war! World will perceive that as a victory but heros who die defending an idea become heros by offering greatest sacrifice - their lives. How long will victors live? How long Earth will live? What is that victory or loss in scheme of things? This is Eternal truth! I would argue we should be convinced of these facts and then go into battle no matter how resourceful or not we are. There are such men the world knows as 'Taliban'. Because every man who seeks truth and true liberation is at heart, mind and soul a 'Taliban' - and not what news tell us to hear, see, and believe! In this are signs for those who reflect.

This comment is trying to dissuade criticism about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, correct? If we are comparing the Ukrainian invasion, why did you bring up instances like Hong Kong? Did the US bomb Hong Kong in 2019? See how that's a dishonest comparison? Normally, a person would think soft-power and political pressure is much different than dropping bombs. Much of your list is conflated like this. >> There is one main difference for the rest of your examples- *the US did not annex any of those countries*. Even when the US invaded Iraq and "stole their oil", the US never stole oil. It went back to the global market and Iraq was able to profit by selling oil contracts to numerous countries- unwittingly for the US, much of the oil contracts were bought by China. There isn't much confidence the same will happen if Russia takes over Ukraine. I think the world expects another resource stripping like what the Soviets did to East Germany. To reiterate the main point, there is no double standard because the US never invaded then annexed a sovereign country. Putin has already claim annexation of seized Ukrainian territory.

The one time Russia gets effective weapons that they can rely on, it is not made by them. That should tell you about the state of the Russian army.

Say hello to S-500, TOS-1, izdeliye305, calibers, Iskanders and others

While small arm ammunition's is cheap, "bullets" that can shoot down drones are not cheap and still cost much more than the drone itself. C-RAM for example, fires 20mm HEIT-SD at 4500 round per minute, that's a whopping 75 rounds per second, one short burst and $100,000 is gone. Anti-aircraft guns use rounds equipped with a proximity fuse which is even more expensive. The second C-RAM fires, it's exposed, it will take out a few drones at first but quickly getting destroyed by more drones. Remember, drones only need to overcome 2km distance to take out an anti-air gun, even at a 50:1 kill ratio drone wins.

If the bomb drones are flaying low above 2 km and slow up to 200 km/h it can be shoot by AA baterie with guns from 20 to 40 mm equiped with thermal sighting with few shoots of expirience AA crews that costs max 1/25 value of cheapest Iranian drones wich has been done in many cases by UA AA defence.

They should consider an updated app, that listens for the distinct audio characteristics of the shahed-136. Setup a few in known locations, work out the timing difference in audio arrival, calculate location based off the timing differences, do that over time to get a tracking solution. Use to target their defenses. Setup a perimeter of groups of three of these spaced a couple of kilometers apart, assuming that they are effective enough to detect at similar distances that people can hear them. Automated Shahed tracking solution for the cost of a few hundred cheap consumer phones.

I wonder if you could just strap a $3k Jetcat engine to a $3k fibreglass model F18 and program Ardupilot to take it up to altitude and then enable a secondary program to fly toward these drones. You could probably detect them with a phased microphone array and use a low pass filter to listen for the 2 stroke piston engines and ignore the jet engines used by the other friendly drones.

It would work until someone realize they can strap $3k Jetcat engine to a new version of Shahed drone.

Why it is so cheap: it uses bike engine, not aircraft-class engine. It has no communication or remote control capability. It just flies to the preset target without any ground control like missile. So simple so cheap and light. So it can carry heavier warhead with much more explosive power. Way cheaper and better than US switch blade drone which requires elaborate remote ground control.

Rawlinson sound triangulation might also be an option to supplement the app. All you would need to do is to install sound samplers at fixed intervals. Until radar was invented this was the way that Britain was able to locate incoming German planes.

The crowdsourcing app is totally brilliant. I hope they get the autonomous drone interceptor drones. They should design their own drone intercepting drones that can be made easily at home with manual television guidance. A two-stage design powered by model rocket engines, where one motor launches a high-speed, airplane-like drone with a short-range nanny-cam TV transmitter and radio control. It just does a couple of turns looking for the target and glides back if nothing is seen. If it sees the target, the second rocket accelerates into the other drone, piloted by remote control. We had prototypes like this shooting down helicopters in the 1980's. Its short range, and you either have to know the drone is coming, or be there all the time waiting to launch when you hear the drone approach. The rocket makes it very fast.

The Saheds can work as a swarm to overwhelm the enemy defense system and the likes of Arash 2 are so fast and destructive that will definitely cause escalation which would result in more money spent. Of course these can be used in sequence where the Shaheds would get rid of the enemy defense and then the Arash 2s would strike(or any Russian/Iranian missile in that case if needed). To add to that, Iran has surveillance type drones like Mohaajer 6 which could be used as an observer unit and they actually have a higher altitude than most American surveillance drones(there are videos of them flying above the mentioned drones unnoticed) and there are other stealth-type surveillance drones that captured footage of the US carriers in the Persian Gulf back in 2016 and the footage was released in 2019 and they basically go unnoticed. When used in combination, the Mohaajer 6 can act as the optics for the surrounding Shaheds or other drones to guide them. Basically our military/security doctrines are based on asymmetrical warfare and we also practice this with our marine forces as well. The current publicized methods are designed to overwhelm the defense system and cause attrition through escalation while resulting in a relatively high success rate. Let's hope peace to the world!

GNSS receivers on-board UAVs can be particularly vulnerable to external sources of interference, be they intentional or not. In the sky, the signals from jammers can propagate over far longer distances than they would be able to on land.Drone jammers are designed to disrupt the communication between the drone and its controller. They do this by transmitting interfering radio signals, at bands usually used by drones. This radio frequency (RF) interference is at a power level high enough to “drown out” the signals transmitted by the operator and drone. There are technologies for these swarms but no one seems to care enough.

Iran should be able to send weapons to whoever they want, BUT if they do, that violates UN Resolution 2231 which Iran signed in 2015. A number of heavy sanctions were lifted from Iran in return for what was agreed to in UN Resolution 2231. One of the many conditions of that agreement was for Iran not to supply certain categories of weapons to any country without prior agreement from the parties involved (including UK, Russia, German, etc.). Depending on the weapon category, some of those conditions expired in 2020, and some will expire in 2023. If it turns out that Iran supplied Russia with those drones (which they were not allowed to do until after 2023), then that violates the agreement, which means those heavy sanctions could come back ("snapback sanctions" being the formal term used). Of course Iran most certainly would not want more sanctions to come back. That is why Iran is denying the supply of those drones to Russia. So it's not that US/NATO can supply weapons to Ukraine, but just hypocritically, Iran shouldn't be allowed to do the same for Russia. Yes, that would be illogical. It's all because of that UN resolution that Iran signed and doesn't want to violate (but very well may have violated). I hope this helps clarify the situation.

These drones are programmable (can approach a target from any direction), and Russia could simply launch them when visibility's bad (which happens a lot in eastern Europe).

Maybe defensive nets could play a role in protecting static targets from drones. Maybe. Just a thought.

The future of drone warfare, I think, will be masses of small drones. This was our concern when I attended a US Army conference/course to this matter. If you were able to produce large numbers of small cheap drones and outfit them with a small fragmentation device you'd be able to hit all manner of targets quite easily. Using one of these drones, one could easily fly into a command post and kill/injure a number of officers. Swarms could be used to set upon enemy positions to fly into foxholes and bunkers before an attack. Etc etc. While we have decent defenses against larger "predator" style drones, it's very difficult to defend against the style of drone I'm describing without blocking out entire radio wavelengths across entire fronts, thereby also knocking out your own comms.
