Hezbollah's suicide quadcopter attack on Israel's Drone Dome system
This system is used to deal with and disrupt drones.

my guess is the system did its work which is disrupting the connection between the drone and operator and probably disrupt gps so if the attack was happened by a group for example Ukraine or ISIS it probably would have failed . but Iran was working on AI controlled UAVs for quiet sometime. so I believe when the drone lost contact went into AI controlled mode find the target and destroyed it, specially as if you look at the video it didn't show the attack phase from drone camera but from another camera inside Lebanon

So it got disrupted then switched into AI mode to hit it?

My guess is that it's what happened because unlike other video we don't see attack phase.
If it's what happened , everybody who invest in soft kill to stop Iranian drones seems need to throw away all those investments

Iran can in few weeks have the nuclear bomb and then drive along one of those parades... IRGC can put into a K4 missile in probably less than a month.

So why Khamenei doesn´t order it?

Because Khamenei does not believe in nuclear weapons on religious grounds. He is against them. Thus it is highly unlikely iran will become a nuclear weapons power during his time. He does not wish for that to be a part of his legacy.

There is a reason, and you can read it between lines.

No there isn’t some cryptic reasons. It’s quite clear and he has been quite clear on this in numerous sermons.

All of us wants Iran to build nuclear devices,

Wouldn’t change much. It would make Saudi Arabia sign a mutual defense treaty with US. It would create an “Arab and Israeli NATO” on Iran’s borders.

This thinking that making nukes and you will have sanctions come off and be accepted at the table is not rooted in reality. North Korea shows that

but you cannot do a show-off and an spectacle with russians and north-koreans signing a tri-partite pact and after it ask the UN, EU or US a sanction relief.

There will be no major sanction relief: the US embargo has been on Iran since 1980s, long before any nuclear weapons program.

If sanctions relief is merely being able to sell your oil and send cash to other foreign banks and receive cash from other foreign banks then that is sad. That is a right every nation should have.

Are you sure it didn’t follow a terminal INS route? Ie GPS goes out/Operator loses control drone continues to follow terminal route.

Again this is why ukraine and Russia use tv attenna feed. Yes, camera quality feed drops to 1980’s level but it makes it near impossible for a system to jam an TV signal vs more modern cell network feeds for off the shelf drones.

Question for Iranians.

Does Iran have a vision for post-war Gaza military factions, and if so, what does it entail? Does Iran believe Gaza is too limited geographically and by other factors to upgrade it's military capabilities or does Iran intend to help them upgrade their weapons systems ?

One example, is lack of attack drones in Gaza. Weak A/T systems. No loitering munitions capability for air defense. Etc.... those are just a few examples.

We do not work for Iran foreign services or IRGC, we are not in their war meetings or foreign services plans, we do not even know what weapons they have access to, like everyone we see it only on videos and open source intel

So it would be opinions based on self belief and personal opinions

Kim Jong Un and Putin sign mutual defense pact at North Korea summit

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a new pact Wednesday that includes a pledge of mutual defense if either is attacked.

@jauk @Hack-Hook @Persian Gulf

What a slap in the face of Iran.

North Korea gets a mutual defense pact with Russia. Iran after 30+ years and supporting Putin military when no other nation would can’t even get some SU-35. Meanwhile we will get a 20 year “strategic” deal that is watered down and provides no major benefits.

Iran foreign policy achievements are abysmal.

That's a dangerous pact. Are you mad or something?

We may join it when whole of BRICS members sign a pact similar to article 5 of NATO member states.

I know that. I'd like opinions. I'm assuming it's cost related. Gaza could use drones, loitering munitions (ones Houthi's use to shoot down drones), anti tank mines. More modern RPG systems. Does Iran make rpg 29 clones or something along those lines?

Good question. Where there is a will there is a way.

With attacking and kidnapping Israelis, Hamas tried to upgrade its level from a simply armed weak militia to an stable political group that can control Gaza and its shores on its own and militarily impose its will on neighbors including Egypt and the Zionist cancer.

Hamas is actually fighting with all it got to gain an international place where it can have power projection around its borders and also mutual relationship with every willing country around the world.

Just pay attention to this fact that while Abbas and Fatah are fading away, Hamas and PIJ are shining over Palestinian lands, they are most loved even in west bank today.

Inshallah after Hamas got a strong foothold, they can introduce a safe sea corridor to those willing to trade with Gaza. We will be first in line by Allah's will. If Israel threatens that corridor, Yemen and Hezbollah will give Jews a bloody nose. Keyword, power balance

We are surely planning for post war scenario. Gaza will be an stable partner inshallah.

I would've loved to see the Iranian Meraj 521 equivalent of the US Switchblade in Gaza, would be extremely useful in the resistances inventory.

Because the weapons must reach Gaza through the tunnel from Egypt, there is a difficult task ahead. But any small weapon can be transferred.

The weapons that are useful to Hamas are Almas and Dehlawiya anti-armor missiles, quadcopter suicide drones and drones similar to Switchblade and Shahed 101.

Explosive traps and mines should also be delivered to Gaza in large numbers too.

For air defense, Misagh 3 and 358 missiles are very powerful and small missiles.

 

[tsunset]

Igla? Isn't also misagh based on Igla? How can it miss everytime they fire a manpads on flying piece of metal such as Apache and CH-53

Ansarallah landed many shots on Saudi/UAE aircrafts and choppers, although it may be from different platform, but they hit a lot of aircrafts made from every corner of the globe
