Russia may receive Iran's Hadid-110 jet-powered drone. Iran tested the Hadid-110 stealth drone during the Sahand 2025 military exercises, which were attended by SCO member states. The Hadid-110's specifications are already known: its maximum speed is approximately 510 km/h, its range is up to 350 km, and its service ceiling is 9,000 meters. The Hadid-110 drone can carry a warhead weighing up to 30 kg. Its flight endurance is approximately one hour. The drone has a streamlined fuselage and a compact jet engine.

I don't understand why you diminish the achievement of iranians. They're different concepts. Harpy is a very advanced OWA drone, with an advanced seeker, to seek and destroy radars. It is a kind of very long range anti tank missile, designed to hit accurately a High valué target with a very advanced seeker. Shahed 136 It is a flying very long range bomb. Designed to be expendable, cheapest versions are not contour flying profile and are designed to be launched in salvos, with the goal of depleting Air Defense systems, with the lowest cost available components. It is more similar to an V1 than a Harpy.

Sorry, but the funny part is, that it is not me who diminishes "the achievement of iranians" but you who is "ignoring this drones history and linage!
I'm not even arguing both are different since the developed into a very different weapon and more important, are from very different times ... but to portray the Shaheed as THE IRANIAN super-weapon anyone in the world tries to copy is wrong.

I doubt it will be sold anytime soon. After israeli attack Iran needs to produce these types of drones in high numbers for themselves first rather than for any other country. Also the debris of this in Ukraine can be used to find its shortcomings of the airframe and to detect it later on for israel.

Funny ... and in fact all is based on the Israeli Harpy, which is based on the South African Kentron ARD-10 loitering drone/munition from the late 1980s.

And US recently copied the Shahed and calls is LUCAS. Everyone seeks tech and steals/copies from each other.

So if they´re different, why to copy not only the concept of ultra-low cost to maximum payolad... and even the shape?.
Russia could copy the harpy instead the Shahed, isn´t it?

Seems Netanyahu have a pink telephone line with Vladimir...

 

[Shags101]

its fair to say they perfected it .

Well cost effectiveness yes range definitely but like @Persian Gulf has noted the Russians have optics on it so now it can target moving targets instead of just stationary targets assuming the cost went up but probably worthwhile

 

[Shags101]

Not sure why you are offended when these are indisputable and not even overhyped facts, so please read again: „based“ is all I Said !!!

I don’t know about overhyped when you have to send out hundreds of aircraft’s air defense missiles and etc to confront them only thing Iran screwed up with that they should have kept the waves coming no let up Russians are still using them and Ukraine doesn’t have a coalition to defend its skies or lands….nothing against Ukraine I’m actually not a fan of Putin just saying they are using them still after a few years so can’t be all hype

I try it once again and most of what you said is actually not wrong, but it was not the point!

My point was that the original poster claimed (boasted):

کدام کشورها پهپاد #شاهد_۱۳۶ ایرانی را کُپی کردند؟روزی خواهد رسید که #ایران به یکی از بزرگترین صادرکنندگان محصولات نظامی جهان تبدیل شود.آن روز دور نیست.

= Which countries copied the Iranian #Shahed_136 drone?
The day will come when #Iran will become one of the world's largest exporters of military products. That day is not far off.

And again he deliberately missed that it all began with an Israeli drone based on a South African concept and if I'm not mistaken, these "evil" Germans again were involved too!

As such the answer to his claim, who copied whom and developed it in which direction is not answered by mentioning Iran!

But if you want, we can easily leave it and tell all the world ... yes, all are copying Iranian Shaheed 136! Happy now?

I wouldn’t say I’m happy personally and wouldn’t say the world but I think shahed definitely had its shining moments but it’s definitely better a short range attack drone than trying to cover a thousand miles to get to its target you give people 5 hours advance notice people tend to be prepared so if they don’t get down in the first line of defense there were at least a dozen more to stop them for long range it’s definitely only good if they had sent several large waves back to back……maybe next time

Let me explain back to you. The fact that Kentron ARD-10 was the father of that Harpy (or vice-versa) doesn´t make Shahed drone a copy of them. In fact, South African and israeli drones are Anti radar loitering munnitions while Shahed 136 it is just a one way very long range drone without any seeker or patrol time. China and US didn´t copied Harpy (by the way china have been a user of Harpy).
Everybody has a father, except israelis that for sure comes from God and are the choosen.

I don't know if this has been discussed before but we need to get AI tech in our drones....ASAP. I'm wondering if Iranian engineers are designing (for defensive purposes) cheap, smaller drones acting as a swarm against enemies' missiles and aircrafts, similar to the ones we see on the web for shows and parades.

Considering the dostance between Iran and Israel, these drones have no utility in Iran-Israel theater. Very useful for cross border infiltration, taking out high value assets like radars, ADs etc
