Shahed doesn't cost that low mate, and this one carries as much firepower as 4 of those. This is not a Shahed/Geran copy. This carries a warhead equivalent of a MK-83 bomb, which weighs 1000 pounds, or about 450 kgs. So, using this is like dropping a MK-83 from 2000 km away, with precision guidance. If I had to guess, I would say it has 200 kg of insensitive explosive with some sort of prescored fragmentation sleeve instead of just steel or tungsten balls around it to save weight and if it explodes in the air, it would shred the fuck out of everything in a very good range even outside the blast zone.

And making that one is possibly the easiest thing in the world. TEI already produces the same engine as used in Gerans, PG-50 which is the same as the German engine Iranians copied, strap that to an aerodynamic body with 50 kg warhead and enough fuel and you have your Shahed.


Russia is using something similar, I've seen one of their solution literally gets launched from something like a gun.

Bro, its total warhead weight is 200kg. Not the explosive inside the warhead.

Kızılelma Teber and LGK-82 firing test. It was conducted by the prototype featuring Toygun so I would assume it did its own laser illumination too. Hopefully IWB tests at least for these type free fall munitions will follow soon
