Lo and behold Ga^W gentlemen - the Freedom Geran

>german design for a sead/dead drone
>goes to iran
>to russia
>to china
>to america
it's a good overall design. i think the jet engined one is almost perfect, since 500-600 km/h is far harder to intercept, and the cost is still pretty low

>>63994796 (OP)
>implying pidoran is a new design
lol

it should be ga^Wentlemen, you dumb larping faggot.

>>63994808
oh, i forgot north korea and israel.

from known warhead designs, i think the original iran version is the best. with the nose efp, the radial efps, and the fragmentation skirts. i think efps are widely undervalued in warhead designs.

>Geran
Cool it with the copium, pidor. It's called Shahed.

It's called Dorito mark 1, totally an american invention

>>63995451
dont you DARE take the name of Frito Lays in vain!

>>63994809
there is a south african drone in there too

How did they manage to keep the costs down to zigger shahed?

>>63995545
the boeing dorito mk.1 will be made by the finest illegal slave labor this side of mexico and its composite body entirely out of bill gates' gmo corn.

>>63995545
By taking your medicare away

>>63995545
By having a robust manufacturing sector and a MIC that isn't wholly dependent on foreign imports for all but the most simple of things. Turns out a flying bomb powered by lawn mower engines and an Arduino is really fucking cheap when you don't have to source the important bits off the grey and black markets.

>>63995782
it seems like a target drone though, no warhead, way lighter (it matters because the engine is tiny) so it doesn't need expensive construction materials or 'large' servos. And more importantly no EW resilient guidance, the most expensive part of the shahed.
The engine is non chinese though, for the same price as the Limbach (CN) it's 6 times less HP.

>>63995782
aww

>>63995817
>no warhead
The warhead stands in the bottom left corner

>>63995823
The nose... those drones aren't heavier than 40 kg, useful as target drone but nothing more.

>>63995782
wait what? Are you saying America manufactures all that AND cheaply? Everybody knows American manufactured goods aside from cars are expensive.

Sheesh. You'd think they would make some adjustments..

>>63996542
fuck buying the drones from them, i wanna poach their talent. let me pick their brains and strategy to figure out how you take what they're doing and turbocharge it with infinite resources from the start.

>>63996595
The harpy is a suicide drone?

Give money, niggers and open joint ventures here in Ukraine.

This is hilarious but -why didn't they make it bigger? Its the equivalent of a single 155mm shell, in other words shit won't destroy a large stand alone building. The company may be trying to game the government for production numbers.

>>63995782
Also they're going to have to close the CRPA gap the Russians are already at 16 elements.

>>63994796 (OP)
I wonder about that engine, its looks similar to small generators. May be compromising performance - note the (huge) isolation.

>>63997465
I can guess what are the two outer rings doing, but what are supposed to be doing those 4 in the center? NavIC/IRNSS? it seems like another quad but for S band instead of the normal L1/L2 or G1/G2

>>63997429
>Its the equivalent of a single 155mm shell
shahed-136 has a 100 pound class warhead, which is similar to that, but geran-2 has a 200 pound class warhead

they'll likely do what the russians did here

>>63997500
It seems to be this aussie engine.

>geran-2 has a 200 pound class warhead
Russia is using a larger warhead at the cost of +1000 km of range.
>source: their internal docs related to alabuga or kupol, I can't remember which one.

What a loathsome cunt. Nothing will ever make this guy not look like some faggot news anchor wannabe.

>>63996499
Video game image kind of awesome is it AI retouch?

>>63997532
that wouldn't be an issue for them [or most nations] considering they already get 1000 km.+ having multiple warhead types and sizes wouldn't be a bad idea for these things.

i'm waiting for someone to make a purpose built drone carrier the size of a corvette or frigate that can quickly launch dozens of them at one go with hundreds stored in magazines. this would give quite a bit of power projection.

>>63996603
The biggest missed opportunity of the war. We completely missed the boat on sending a few thousand green berets into Ukraine to act as "advisors" and study how modern peer warfare actually works.

Both Biden and Trump are complicit. Biden for being a pussy and not sending the aid and resources when the political willpower was there and would have had the maximum effect, and Trump for being a Russian collaborator and generally massive faggot. Ukraine would have fully won the war by now and we'd have saved billions of dollars, saved thousands of lives, and reaped strategic and military benefits, if someone with balls had just sent thousands upon thousands of tanks, air defense missiles, cruise missiles, and more about two years ago. If John McCain was president he would have firebombed Moscow. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

>>63997532
Sorry i reflexively wrote 155 now - which is completely wrong, pic related

While I understand the utility, or even the necessity, copying something from the Iranians is somehow humiliating.

iran should sue for patent infringement.

Anon, the Shasneed was quite literally designed to be mass producible with non-sanctioned easily available off the shelf components by one of the most sanctioned countries on Earth. It is a weapon born of ingenuity and desperation. Do you think Raytheon and Boeing can make it cheaper while trying to line their pockets?

>>63996603
the drone war is evolving too quickly to make many decisions for large scale procurement in a peacetime military anyways, get the talent once the war is over or frozen and then take the lessons from there. Obviously doesnt hurt to observe right now but nobody in ukraine in 2022 could tell you what the war would look like now back then

Well that's just a waste of time and funding. Shaheds are for people who can't make missiles.
