How is this proof? You point to a workshop in China making clones of S-136 body and automatically assume that the buyer is Iran?
What kind of logic is that?
Have you even been to China before? Their industrial base make clones of everything.
Concerns raised over Shahed kamikaze drone listings on Alibaba — they featured AI guidance to lock onto ‘people, building, vehicles, ships, etc’
Chinese eTail giant Alibaba has removed listings and suspended the accounts of sellers that were found to be advertising 'cruise missiles' and 'suicide attack drones.'
There was a flurry of Chinese manufactures that wanted to get in on the frenzy of S-136 after its use in Ukraine war. You could buy them even at one point on Chinese retailers like AliExpress.
But these are all civilian applications as China does not military grade to be exported without proper licensing. So these workshops get around it by advertising as civilian hobby drones.
Iran isn’t ordering S-136 body kits from Chinese workshops. It’s laughable to say they are.
Iran has been using Mado 550 in drones far longer than Chinese workshops decided to adopt. China until recently didn’t even have S-136 like drone in its own military arsenal. All of that changed after the Ukraine war. Now many countries are copying the design or offering knock offs to cash in on the popularity.
Because it’s a useful foreign policy lever. There is a difference between China NEEDS Iran and iran is USEFUL for China.
But I assure you, Chinese government does not care if Iran survives or not. China and Iran do not have strategic relations and Chinese imports of Iranian oil make up less than 10% of China’s daily oil consumption. And in fact China produces more oil than it imports from Iran.
They didnt even supply arms to Russia when it was losing the Ukraine war and going backwards. Why would they be testing Chinese weaponry in Iran?
No they wouldn’t. Every country in Middle East including Afghanistan has strong relations with China. So do many Arab countries who are U.S. vassal states. You overestimate how much Chinese-Iranian relations would change if Iran falls.
And U.S. has military bases in South Korea and Japan, why would China even care if there was an airbase all the way over in Iran? U.S. had airbases in Afghanistan for years.
Xi Jinping wouldn’t care since he is an appeaser to Western order. And US already has allies all around China that he could use for those same tasks and who actually are geographically closer and share a border or region of water.
Sorry to say, but Iran for many years has become indispensable to China.

You know the reason they are using HIMARS is probably because Trump complained why doesn’t the U.S. have missiles like Iran and why aren’t we firing missiles instead of dropping bombs from jets.
The only reason LUCAS (S-136 clone) exists is because he complained to US military why don’t we have $50K suicide drones?

Turkish operations in Libya finished off Pantsir.
Israeli operations in Syria finished of the S300.
Ukrainian operations in Russia finished the S400.
And Iranian operations finished both the Iron Dome and the Patriots.
Every system has his downfall.
Iran is making militairy history for in the books.

They will activate Article 5 if you attack London.
Better to attack RAF Akrotiri because South Cyprus is not a NATO member.
The USAF and the IAF are both using RAF Akrotiri at South Cyprus.
