When European Union copied the Karrar UCAV concept shamelessly.

Looks nothing like a Karrar and in fact looks like a Wing-man inspired design.



Also Karrar is just a modified US target drone from the Shah era. It’s not even Iranian. Unless you mean Qaher? Which isn’t even in production.

Karrar is still decent to be an interceptor drone. I imagine if enemy fighter jets are forced to reveal their locations via the heat signature of a air to air missile it will be easier to shoot them down. Also Iran has the capability to produce this wingman like drone. It just requires a Owj and the stealth tech of a shahed 191. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just something that can shoot down drones(the main enemy of missile launchers)

No. Wingmans operate conventionally from landstrip. This one is JATO take off and can operate autonomally.

In fact they got an loyal wingman and converted It into a UCAV truck launched, exactly like Karrar.

While fielding Karrar has been a failure, the concept IS very good. It is an UCAV that can be launched from any place and has enough speed for intercept not only UAVs but also even Cruise missiles.

And that is what EU has copied. And UCAV deployable. Instead of using a modified high speed target drones they just used a loyal wingman. But the concept It is the same.

It even has not satellite link, like Karrar.

Incorrect, wingman can operate autonomally and operate from a carrier using the catapult wire system , which is another assisted launch system for short takeoffs.

There are many ways to launch a UAV, runway, catapult, rail, rail + booster, or even by hand. This has existed for years with other types of drones. The launch method doesn’t mean that anything is copying anything. It’s basic physics. The Karrar and wingman and this drone are nothing alike if All you have is they use similar launch methods.

It even has not satellite link, like Karrar.

Karrar doesn’t have a SATCOM data link. Its head is far too small to store the dish. Unless you are talking about GLONASS chips which help it navigate.
