Yakutia has risen. Mass protest against mobilization. There are mostly women and girls protesting.

This is what the launchers of Iranian moped drones look like

Outwardly, they look like ordinary "trucks". Which, at the touch of a button, transform into a launch platform. These drones are giving us big problems at the front.

Edit:

Why did the Russian Federation begin to actively use kamikaze drones "Shahed-136 aka Geranium-2" and began to use cruise missiles less often?

A clear advantage of using "mopeds" is an almost imperceptible start. If we receive data on launches / trajectories of cruise missiles from our radar facilities vs reconnaissance facilities of Western partners, then the launch of the UAV goes unnoticed.

As we already wrote, shahids start from trucks (roughly speaking from the ground), which makes it difficult to detect the launch. After an imperceptible launch, the UAVs fly at ultra-low altitudes, remaining unnoticed by our RTV. Drone detection is often due to a loud engine.

How many drones Iran handed over to the Russian Federation is not exactly known.

PDF file here (in Ukrainian language):



Length - 2.6 m
Wingspan - 2.2 m
Weight - 135 kg
Warhead explosive weight - 15 kg
Range - about 900 km

Basically its a primitive drone with GPS guidance - no optic guidance, so it search and cant attack mobile targets.
Israel and Turkey must inspect this vehicle.

Putin has to continue the war in the hopes that an opportunity presents itself, otherwise his career is over. You lose Kherson, Crimea is vulnerable and if Crimea is vulnerable to direct attack its the beginning of the end.

Putin trapped himself, its all or nothing for him now. Honestly, as the years go past Putin convinces me he's not very intelligent when it concerns these things. His killing of Turkish troops in Syria was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Under Erdogan Turkey was destroying all her relations with the west, turning Turkey into an international outcast. All Russia had to do to pull Turkey into her orbit was concede to her security interests in Northern Syria. Had Putin done that, i think you would have seen a Turkey today separate from the west and following Putins footsteps.

Instead he killed those Turkish troops and then thought he would advertise it to the world to humiliate Turkey. It set a chain reaction off that directly led into this Ukrainian disaster. Turkey exposed Russian air defences in idlib, then Libya, followed by Azerbaijan. While this was happening Turkey is selling drones and know how to Ukraine, and i suspect TB2 drone strikes on Russian backed terrorists at least in part led to Russia's invasion. Russia fearing that if they leave it too late Ukraine will become too armed, making successful invasion impossible.

If there was one weapon the Russians really needed in this invasion was reliable drones, things they could have got easily from Turkey had they not attacked us. The more Putin takes direct control of this war the bigger the shitshow it will become.

These Iranian drones are slow and low flying objects that must be easy to shoot down by most modern SPAAGs. Doesn't Ukraine have any Shilkas and Tunguskas it can deploy? What happened to the German Gepards?

It would be very interesting to me to see how Korkut will perform against such a target.

Iranian already sanctioned by western countries.So they don't care about world opinion.
In fact most likely,russian will give them nuclear tech.
That will trigger Israeli airstrike inside Iran. The IAF has been practicing complex air exercise lately aimed at an air operation deep inside Iran.

In retaliation Iran could ask its hezbollah minions to target Israel from Lebanon or missile strike Arab GCC and US assets in the gulf which will be sure be met by equally strong retaliation from the US+GCC.

Has there been any footage of Gepards actually doing anything? I read of them being delivered but haven't seen any footage.
The same for PHz2000. There was footage of them after being delivered but since then nothing. In the span there were reports that the PHz2000 couldn't keep up with the intensity of the war.

Since then nothing.

Maybe the Germans forbid the sharing of footage of them in active service?

And yes these drones should be easy pickings for SPAAGs.

Yeah its possible but then iranian now have many ballistic missiles and drone like shaheed.
Iranian now have many capabilities to strike deep inside israel too.
Even these shaheed 136 drones have range more than 1000 km.
