>Shaheed strike drones use Nvidia GPUs for computer vision

Nvidiazizters...

>>105977088 (OP)
The way it's meant to be flayed.

>>105977088 (OP)
Can it run Crysis?

Jetson nano (an Nvidia sbc) is used in Russian Lancet drones. They get their products from China who gets them from Hong Kong/Taiwan/SK. Nvidia is in the war business.

I guess getting a highend end fpga for asic development is much harder than just buying off the shelf nvidia hardware. Why not alternative hardware though? Computer vision has plenty of vulkan solutions I would assume.

This is about Russian equipment, not Iranian. Russia does not use Shaheed drones, they use Geranium drones which are different.

>>105977088 (OP)
how the fuck does iran get nvidia gpu?

>>105977513
russia uses iranian drones you doofus

Must be an accident... A mistake... [REDACTED]

>that brass (?) casting in the middle pic
what the actual fuck, what do they need it for?

>>105978046
This thread is about Russian Geranium drones falsely advertised as Iranian Shaheed drones for propaganda purposes.

>Russian Geranium drones falsely advertised as Iranian Shaheed drones for propaganda purposes
LMAO zigger, it's a slightly modified Iranian Shaheeds. It's THE russian propaganda that calls these Gerans as if it was unique russian design. Lurk moar, pidor.

>>105978046
By buying them?

>>105979042
modified in which way?

>>105977088 (OP)
>for computer vision
Aren't Shaheeds extremely simple flying mopeds with a bomb strapped to them that follow a pre-planned path? Did the Russians make them fancier? Because "computer vision" isn't something I'd expect on the original design.

>>105978046
>>105978972
Just use alibaba

>>105977463
These things are on a flying bomb that will be vaporized the first time it's used. They're using the absolute cheapest thing that gets the job done.

>based on the Shaheed, but quite clearly with modifications (seen some rumors of some being jet powered too)
It's not that complex.

>>105978046
Pretty sure they buy it from 3rd world countries to avoid sanctions. For example, Russia can buy shit from Kazakhstan that normally would not be sold to Russia directly.

>>105978046
I’m not sure, but being that this is 4chan the answer will probably end up being Israel

>>105978046
i would actually like to know this too. i used to work for a company that had a facility in guangdong and they refused to send anything to iran to avoid getting caught up in an ITAR investigation.

my guess is they send them to pakistan and have no trouble finding exporters.

If anyone is curious you'll have to wade into Ukrainian telegram channels.

i'm almost afraid to ask this, but what is /k/'s take on trade of these drones between iran and russia? should we be buying stock in raytheon, or beans by the pallet?

>>105979127
>It's not that complex
Calling them Shaheds causes extreme seethe though.

>Armata tank is a parade float at best
>planned IFV and APC derivatives of Armata are 404
>The military tractor MTLB is extinct
>BMP series and t-series tanks are rare
>Most assaults are done with GLA energy ladas, Chinese desercrosses and bikes

So they cope by saying the German is totally their own thing.

>>105979641
Holy bodge-wireino! That's a prototype...r...right?

>>105979641
Did the total failure and humiliation of NATO wunderwaffe in Ukraine not teach you that big expensive projects are shit? Armata and all those expensive projects were created based on the same military experience as NATO does all their stuff: boomer thinktanks and Hollywood movies. Those projects are rightly buried, put that money into cheap, easy to produce tanks and IFVs, don't be like NATO that needs until 2035 to replace 50 MBTs.

Even the Ukrainians have had enough and are telling westerners that they have no idea how to fight a modern war and that they'd get steamrolled.
>we'd wipe your base out in 15 minutes with 4 drone crews retards

>>105979634
>what is /k/'s take on trade of these drones between iran and russia

No longer exists. Russia bought an unknown number of Shaheds and support for them for about ~250k a drone (there was a leak) in exchange for gold and fighter jets. Iran was payed with 2 tons of gold plus a promise of Sukhoi fighters. They got the gold but Russia reneged on the jets.

Now Iran is switching to Chinese jets (some already delivered) and, we can assume, will never buy anything from Russia ever again.

All new lawnmowers being launched from Russia into Ukraine are assumbled in Russia (Yalabuga, Tatarstan) with zero Iranian input (92% Chinese parts, 8% Russian-made). They launch them from the back of pickup trucks.

But we still call them Shaheds because it causes the resident zigger shills to seethe.

the two circuit boards are top and bottom and connected on top of each other

or are you questioning the choice of materials?

Nvidia Jetson is Chinese?

Recovered from UXO glide bomb """PGM"""" sometime last year, I think. Russian equivalent to the JDAM or the French Hammer.

>>105979909
As per another anon on the /k/ thread, there exists a Taiwan to Hong Kong to China stream of the better silicone.

>>105979836
why would they manufacture such a piece from a relatively expensive material, let alone polish it till it shines? why not plastic casting? why not styrofoam?

>>105979962
Russia is resource rich but skills poor. For a veriaty of reasons, not just because of the brakeup of the USSR, Russia had more skilled labor in 1988 than now. It boils down to competency being seen as a threat and punished instead of being rewarded.

Brass is very easy and cheap to machine, reletively

>>105977088 (OP)
Russia has a range of similarly shaped drones. Ukrainians keep calling them all "Shahed" which works in Russia's favor. They don't expect them to maneuver the way they do and pick targets dynamically, so it's always a surprise. There was some telegram drama over this recently.

>>105977088 (OP)
How old are those graphics cards? Anyone can buy old ass graphics cards from ebay.

>>105980146
>it's always a surprise.

>>105979923
I was just asking because it kind of looked like they used some evaluation-board in "production" instead of making a custom PCB, which seems rather inefficient so my guess was that it was some kind of prototype to write firmware on or something. There is way too much manual soldering work on that board but I don't know anything about electronics construction in weapon systems like this.

>>105978946
heatsink
it also might be anodised or alodine coated aluminum

>>105980159
When you expect the drone to fly straight to Kharkiv and it instead takes a dive and hits your pickup truck, it is a surprise.

>>105980162
Tooling takes a while to set up and the expertise may not be at hand. You haveany monkeys and many soldering irons.

Meanwhile, the tsar reminds you that his plans must happen, and that the window is always open for more terminal travelers. The window is not for you, no, but for your boss's boss's boss. So everyone down the chain makes do.

The built quality need not be Raytheon tier. The thing only needs to power on once and stay alive for less than six hours. The truly unique QA edge-cases become decoys of which not even that is expected.

Meanwhile

Thanks for your insight Woycik from west.

>>105980218
Not even the original sneedheads flew straight.

It is not capable of targeting moving objects. The manueverability is extremely poor and the engine is just strong enough to keep it airborne.

There is a reason these are used to terror bomb civilian infrastructure and not in tactical parallel with action on the frontline.

Maybe someday they'll build up to that, but they're not there yet.

>>105977088 (OP)
Shasneeds actually have computer vision? I thought they were just dumb.

>>105980419
Is that can of beans(?) part of the drone?

It's a glide bomb/guidance kit. Can was structural support.

Some do, now. Not all.

Sounds expensive. Will Russia be able to afford it in the long run?

Russia is betting that they don't have to. It's looking more and more like a shit bet.
