From the beginning certain Israeli media was saying Raesi is dead. while Iranian medias were circulating they were safe.. how did they know? I think more chances of assassination than not...

I find this stunt by Turkey of drawing their flag with the Akinci flight path in a very poor taste. Nullifies whatever help the Turks provided. An unnecessary and cheap stunt.

I was surprised about it. About how can you do that after a crash to just show "your supremacy". But yesterday, it was a national holiday, The Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day (the beginning of the Independence War)

My condolences but you can’t call one a martyr because he died in an accident you cheapen the word martyr he may have been a pious man who strove for the betterment of his people but he didn’t die for beliefs or during a fight to defend his beliefs, either way my condolences to those passed away and inshallah they get the rewards they deserve in the hereafter

it has something to do with the Turkish national holiday celebrated on May 19 Commemoration of ATATURK, Youth and Sports Day

The issue is the area was High elevation and mountainous highly rural.

Iran’s drones require ground stations to broadcast the signal or radio controlled because they lack access to Satcom like Turkey or NATO or even China/Russia. Mountains are terrible places were signals scatter and get lost for ground station controlled drones.

Some Iranians drones can connect to Satcom for things like navigation and minor data transfer, but I doubt large transfer of datalink upload, which is what you need to transmit high quality live video feed back to the operator.

That is my theory why none of Iran’s big drones (Gaza, Fotros, Kaman-22, etc) were deployed. Who knows maybe they were, but the issue will be sending signal to the drone when it is flying low over a rural mountain range being blocked by land masses.

The gaza isnt even in service yet,the fotros was a prototype and the kaman 22 is basically a larger heavier mohajer 6

The shahed 129s have directional antennas so can use either satellites or aerial relays to extend transmission range.
However that would depend on where exactly the nearest s-129 was and how quickly it could be deployed to the search area and also where the nearest airstrip that it could take off and land from was,because without that then you`re not going to be doing anything.

As for altitude the maximum in that area was around 3000m,so well within the capabilities of the s-129

But he didn't die at war. If someone slipped on a banana peel,while being a soldier...would he be called a "shaheed"? It doesn't make sense. The concept of martyrdom in some islamic countries is weird.

Martyrdom in Islam is to die on the battlefield for the sake of Allah almighty and fighting for the truth only, this is the highest level but then some people die due to a big disease, die by fire, die protecting their property, accidental death, some people suffer in this world and die, they face great trials, Islam also considers them as martyrs. The point is if you die due to a big unfortunate trial on you, then Allah almighty makes it easier for you in the hereafter, that is the concept behind it.
