Iranian UAVs | News and Discussions

I think the missile it is a Almas. The overall shape It is identical to the Spike.

BTW have you realized that they censored the engine???. That point It is really suggesting about any better engine than Rotax912/914.

The issue is that scene was cut. It shows something lining up for a bombing run and then shows the unknown object (you say Spike others say F-14) moving towards it then it cuts to a completely different scene not showing the strike hitting.

Whenever Iran only includes a few seconds of something it usually it’s an intentional leak like when Khorramshar was revealed years ago in a documentary with a few seconds of its prototype Musdan (?) launching.

There is def a few peculiar things happening in Iranian drone land:

1) the drone that was added to navy that wasn’t allowed to be filmed a few months ago

2) an Iranian drone that has been seen moving quickly across the Middle East at high altitude

3) the revelation we have a “game changing drone” which is likely related to point #1

It’s def not a F-14 as F-14’s don’t sport that color camo and it’s too small. Not to mention why would a F-14 be dive bombing on a ground target?

This is either a long range glide PGM or a drone fighter jet.

It looks kind of like this the old sofreh mahi project


Again maybe I’m just seeing things

@Emirzad @Persian Gulf

Thoughts?

Also looks like Russian Grom UAV as well

Man I’m surprised Russia came up with a Valkyrie clone before Iran?

This makes no sense, unless the Russians acknowledged just how effective the storm shadow/Scalp design is.
 
The fuselage to wing ratio and the size of the nose cone are quite different from those of the F-14, as is the shape of the tail wing.
Also, assuming that the bulge at the top of the fuselage is the cockpit of a manned aircraft, this is a much smaller trainer with a cockpit in the back.

There is no doubt that this is either an unmanned aircraft, a glide type PGM, or a small trainer aircraft.

Thank you for posting this. It’s clearly not a F-14 jet and its movement points to a drone. It’s also rather small the bulge at the top points to an air breath intake similar to Sofreh Mahi fighter which was supposed to be an unmanned fighter program from late 2000’s prior to RQ-170 capture.

Assuming it’s not a camera optic

1) Sofreh Mahi (unmanned fighter version)

2) Redesigned Unmanned Qaher

3) Unknown “game changer” drone recently announced by IRGC commander

4) Joint Russian-Iranian project on Grom


Notice the back of the jet its flat which maybe attempts to reduce radiation leakage of engine area similar to Russian Grom. Also if intake is thru the top then back can be tapered to reduce radar.

Very interesting

Damn I thought you were talking about the missile launched from K22.

No, I agree it cannot be a F14. F14 has a huge canopy that even being filmed under it should be visible from that perspective. Also the F14 fuselage is wider. It cannot be F14. Seems something new and unseen before.

Yeah It remember me the L19 hongdu from underview but has no sense with Yak130 going on.
 
Some modified images.

You can see the intake so it’s not pulling air from the top and is def using a jet engine. Based on the nose it doesn’t appear to have room for a pilot.

F-14A.

Grom is a very well known Russian wingmen design.

Just a fun fact for people here. Kratos company which builds Valkyrie loyal Wingmen is owned by 2 Iranian-American engineer brothers.
 
Turkish TB-2 has broken every record for being the most shot-down UCAV on earth with 32 confirmed kills now.

Might it be because its the most popular and active drone in the world lol, and it still selling like hot cake having a production qeue backed up for years. Nigeria just bought an additional 40 TB-2's.

Does not change the fact that it's still the most shot-down drone on Earth.

By your theory, F-16 the most popular 4th generation aircraft in the world must also be the most shotdown aircraft on planet because it was sold like "hot cake".

Yeah thats exactly what I am saying. Till this day its still getting sales almost 5 decades after its initial production, thats how succesfull the platform is. Having been "shot down the most" is kind of a pointless take, if that platform sees active duty and usage more then any other equivelant platform. Iran would be first in line to get some F-16's if it could lol.

I see you failed to understand the simple logic. I will give it another try, let's see if you can get it this time. F-16 despite being the most operated 4th generation aircraft on earth is not the most shot down aircraft (in fact , it has rarely been shot down) unlike TB-2 which just broke the record of being the most shot down uav ever.

Mighdar keyfiyyetdir F-16 ucun, amma senin droneun ucun yox, indi basa dusdun, Mehmet bey?

Only if Iranian GDP was also 50% anglo-jew debt like Turkey.
