Not sure why 11 people are needed to operate a drone launcher or why they would all need to be in such close proximity to the launcher. Preventable loss of life.

a) maybe the operators got caught in the middle of deploying them to the fields?

b) the operators had moved away from the drones, but clustered together and were targeted anyway.

I think it shouldnt be that difficult to develop a simple low observable low cost interceptor uav as an improvement over Karrar drones.

A top inlet would make the drone take off from rough concealed gravel/dirt/grass runways. Tradeoff is maneuvrability but interceptors dont need maneuvrability that much.

Valkyrie has internal bays but no landing gear and uses parachute for landing with rocket take off. But landing gear is planned in future versions.

Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

For Iranian version a landing gear can be added trading off from internal bays. An external enclosed weapons bay would still provide stealth to carry air to air missiles. It can carry wvr missiles for the initial development iterations. Later improvements can add bvr missiles as well.


A further imrpovement iteration for later stages of production is 2 engine high speed variant of the same concept like this Chinese exemple:

Feihong-97

Production also needs to be planned and is problematic for Iran which is under ongoing conflict with usa. If it is produced underground and stored at the same place it should be well protected like the ballistic missile mountain bases. Another option is producing parts in batches in smaller concealed production facilities. Parts can then be transferred-assembled and stored in concealed smaller dispersed higher number of underground sites. Just like ballistic missiles these items need to be protected to a sufficient degree when air superiority is lost by using concealment tactics or mountain bases.

That factory can be geolocated by the view from the windows! OPSEC issue.
