I'm just saying that it is possible, not that Iran has such a great industrial capacity, but it is possible because other countries have done it.Russia can pump out hundreds of Shaheds a day because they got the industrial base, supply chains and they are already in full scale war production. Iran doesnt have that scale... not even close. IR didnt even announce that the country was in war mode. So how exactly are you going to force the entire arms industry to suddenly produce tens of thousands of Shaheds? Its impossible with Irans current situation.... no mobilization, no resources, no industrial base on that scale.
For large scale operations like that you need an intact chain of command and valuable field commanders directing day and night missions... all under the cover of layered air defenses.
That’s impossible under relentless Israeli airstrikes.
I can confidently say Russia is producing more drones than IR and right now has a larger drone stockpile.
Honestly, I don't see how Russia is better than Iran in this case, unless our bottleneck is the engine.
Russians are decades ahead of Iran in engine production, but they also suffer from similar shortcomings when it comes to microchips. Maybe it's easier for them to acquire them from China. I don't know.
Nevertheless, we had 10 years to mass produce Shahed-131/136. Even if we had produced 30 drones per day, after <3650 days we must have had over 100K drones!
It seems that the regime was never truly prepared for war, unlike their claims.
