"Almighty" Shahed is too cheap, yet too easy to jam that you can disable it with a simple medium power jammer device. It can not even switch to INS via detecting a GPS jamming / spoofing; if spoofed / jammed it continues to fly to an unknown destination with warhead remaining deactivated, eventually soft landing via gliding or likely the battery is running out. Definitely not as good as glorified by some twitter experts.

1) It even lacks the simple analogue switches that will switch from GPS to INS in case of jamming power.
2) Bet it uses some commercial unprotected circuits that makes it easy to be jammed and cheapest GPS receiver card that is spoofed / jammed easily.
3) It's controller unit or embedded software is not quite smart or powerful to overcome spoofing with an accurate INS.

Literally my comment more than ten days ago;

They are not winning the PR war, a hundred is fired and only few met the target.


+ Nearly does no loitering
+ Has an onboard camera but no footage so far from that.
+ Dive pattern indicates pure GPS guidance it follows few way points and dives at the last one, seeker supposed to be Anti-RF yet..
+ It was so ineffective in open areas (GPS sensitivity, likely single frequency with weak commercial IMU) that Russians started to use it to shell cities, blindly.

In the end; typical Iranian warmachine. Manufactures enmasse, yet you need a few dozen to successfully engage a target.

These are meant to be cheap disposable terror weapons. In that regards its does its job done. The fact that Ukraine is spending expensive munitions such as It's 9k37 missile (Buk M1) and flew fighter jets to shoot down a flying lawn mower meant a successful attrition of precious Ukraine's war stockpile . The other is the propaganda effort to show Z supporters that Russia is punishing Ukraine for refusing to cower down, from the look of it, that works to calm down disappointed far right Russian nationalist. However I agree that these doesn't translate to any meaningful help for Russian faltering war situation. As I've said before Russian war supporters hyped its capability to cover up poor battlefield performance.

These peoples are grabbing at straws while drowning. For example they hype up the Iranian drones so much cause there's really nothing to cheer from developments on the ground. I mean yes, it hurts Ukraine (ordinary ones) but its real effect on the battlefield are zilch.

If let's say NATO (real NATO) somewhat invade Russia and reached Moscow these guys will spin any fantasy they has in their head and try portray it as victory.

Btw there are rumors that Russia is willing to transfer nuclear tech and even trade Sukhois for more Shahed. If that's the case , congratulations to Iran they've just milked Russia in the cheap

Rashka is trying to make Kherson Oblast literally a zone of exclusion, - Zelenskyi.

"The Russian Federation is making Kherson Oblast a zone without civilization, without elementary things that are available in most countries of the world.

This region, like all other regions of Ukraine, was completely normal and safe before the arrival of the Russian Federation, all social services for people were guaranteed there," the president said.

Iranian drones are like the old rockets of the past.

Barely going to kill but they are cheap and disposable while having a psychological impact.

No matter how cheap they are they can still be deadly. I think the Iranians created this as a shoot first and ask questions later while Iranian quality is just garbage.

Pretty embarassing for Russia which has its own MIC to buying from Iran. Just shows how for decades the Russian MIC has stagnated and declined since the 1980s.

Had Russia gone into this war with 50 TB2's things could have been very different. How they ignored the importance of drones after seeing what they did to their hardware in 3 previous theatres is absolutely mind boggling.

The Russians geared themselves for a total war scenario.

Their whole army of the cold war was geared for a total war against Nato.

Where soldiers, tanks, nuclear submaries, ifvs, jet fighters, strategic bombers and icbms all played a role.

Now since the collapse of the soviet union they inherited the Soviets big ass army while their economy for decades was garbage.

The war against Ukraine is not a total war scemario this is where Russia fcked up as they cant even use most of these weapons because they are expensive to maintain. Are only suitable in a world war.

Russia for decades touted in their propaganda how they were modernising how in the future people will be seeing a different Russian Armed Forces.

Thats not the case at all. Im really wondering where all that money went and those weapons most likely built for show.

Lets bot forget how the Americans used expensive weapons against Toyota driving insurgents.

The difference between the USA and Russia is that the USA can afford this while Russia cannot.

Usa does have its fair share of corruption but really does not come close to Russia.

Oligarchs are basically modern day Boyars who for centuries were the nobility and power wielders of Russian politics.

Realistically they couldn't even successfully provide logistics for their professional army as it crossed 30/40km into Ukraine. They may think their army was geared towards total war, but in reality its not even geared to run competently against weak armies.

Could you imagine this nation trying to conduct war against several nations at once? Impossible. It couldn't even conduct the successful invasion and capture of Kiev at the start of the war when they had every advantage on their side. 8 months into Putins 3 day war and they have been reduced to buying weapons from Iran.

Right now all they got is their nuclear arsenal to hide behind.

At some point in the future Ukraine will start purchasing American fighter jets and what not for her army, after that any future invasion attempt of Ukraine would be suicide.

When we see how bad Russia is today, you have to wonder what would have been the case if she didnt have oil and gas money.

Russians have never learned from their shitty logistics for centuries.

Imperial Russia and the Soviets suffered the same.

Even if the Russians are geared towards total war their logistics are still shit house and their army is equipped to fight a cold war scenario.

Ukrainians have been reforming for a decade with their modernisation plans and have achieved more than the Russians. Russians modernisation plans date back to the 2000s.

Orignally the 1980s but the 1980s and 1990s too much trouble with economy and instability.

Chechens gave the Russians lots of heavy casualties in the Chechen wars. Russians were really getting destroyed.

The Russians very quickly stopped the counterattack of the Ukrainians. Despite all the western gas, the ukrainian marauders quickly dispersed.

The Russians made a good tactic, when they retreated a little without resistance, the Ukrainian marauders suddenly thought they were Superman.

Then they smashed like glass when they hit the Russian lines.

When the Shahed 136 cities hit them, they literally became like rabbits looking at the light.

No bread from here to the west. Let them go away.

Yes, they come, they see, and people die. Abd means death. I don't know how to explain it more clearly. If you still do not understand.

The use of guided bombs will not add much value as the Russians are reluctant to stay long in Ukrainian airspace. There's also the issue of poor ground to air coordination of the Russian troops below and fighters above.

The Russians failed to suppress let alone destroy Ukraine's AD earlier in the war. That's even harder to do now as Ukraine's airspace are propped up with more and more advanced air defense systems from their Western allies. Which means even lesser time inside Ukraine's airspace for RuAF.

The other issue you forgot to mention is if its so easy to integrate JDAM/Paveway type bombs into Russian aircrafts, the same will apply to Ukraine's own Su/MiG fleet. The West has more stockpile to donate to Ukraine than what Iran can give to Russia and by a H U G E margin consider the western emphasis on guided bombs during the last 3 decade.
Actually, the opposite is true for Ukraine and Jdam/paveway ammunition. Because jdam and paveway have shorter ranges. so it can't come close to russian hss. But the range of the Iranian wing bomb is 60 km. In this way, the sams are shot first and the Russian planes are released.
