Nice job Iran even with sanctions you put up a fight
do some research, and if this drone didn’t have strong technology, it wouldn’t have hit the target from a distance of 500 kilometers, that’s why America loses almost in all wars, because a Patriot missile costs $1 million and this drone costs $20,000. Who is the loser of this war? America
You do know the U.S. has other interception methods right? The U.S. employs a wide range of SPAAG weaponry that literally just shoot 20mm bullets at incoming targets. Not everything needs a missile.
I think Russians playing a smart game. They are using cheap and effective drones to save their missiles and advanced weapons from depletion. Minimal effects maximum damage.
The problem is the application toward civilian targets, not strategic valued ones such as Armed Forces HQ or Intelligence Building.
@Ilyas You forgot two things: Wrong intelligence report and fatal miscalculation. Things that made United States bogged down in Afghanistan and Iraq.
@Bramantyo Prahoro Yeah, that too, but the biggest reason is when Ukraine basically gets so much help from NATO, in military equipment supply and much better intelligence access than Russia. This war was basically a proxy war between Europe and USA vs Russia. Or can be say a modern WW3 in our time.
ب کوری چشمتون🇮🇷
You are wrong here about Drones .because nowadays Drones can change the battle field mostly which we seen in Armenia and Azerbaijan war.even in Ukraine war first Ukraine was upper hand by using Turkish made Drones, now Russia is gaining upper hand by using Iranians Drones. You wait and see .
❤️❤️❤️🇮🇷❤️❤️❤️
Um, big distinction: Ukraine has NOT been targeting Russian civilians with the drones.
Aren’t Ukrainians using weapons made by so many other peace loving countries?
Why blame Japanese kamakaze drones?
I’m disappointed why till date, the west has not been able to use satellite 🛰️📡 to identify the start point of these drones before flying
What have the west also developed ?
thank you, Iran
Best defense is have nuke. Look at North Korea, no one dare touch them.
What’s wrong with stopping the war If no one is winning ? It’s disgraceful to the so-called ” world Leaders”.
Nice Russia from Indonesian
The name of the Iranian drone is ITS.
Stands for Iran in the sky.
Ukraine has successfully intercepted all Iranian kamikaze drone with their infrastructure. 👌🇺🇦 Slav Ukraini
I bet the U.S is 10yrs ahead in this technology.
Look at U.S movies.. remember the movie scene with Jamie Foxx as POTUS
And the bad guys used mini kamikaze drones to explode on specific facial detection targets…
American forces soon will be behind a screen 10k miles away fighting a war.
That’s wild to comprehend
Yeah, I remember the scene. The drone-launcher disguised as civvie lorry. Iran also did the same thing.
The new Hollywood.
The big difference is that the Ukraine drones are used against Russian soldiers trying to invade their country. The Russian drones (kindly donated by the women-friendly Iran) are being used to kill civilians.
innocent civilians
🥺😂
Ukraine needs Iron Dome!!
Paper home!
track the iranian drone which area coming from and hit harder and harder now they terrorize civilian,,,,,god bless ukrainian….
the music in the background is unnecessary, why don’t you guys play Marylin Monroe happy birthday ? 🙂 just saying
Blow them up on the ground before they can fly
Why would Russia use an expensive precision Missile when a $20,000 Kamikaze drone can do the same job? Well than Russia.
Go forward Turkiye and Iran,,Congratulations Turkiye and Iran for their success in drone field Masha Allah,,
Iranians are genius 🧠👌
give kiev an iron dome like israle
The Saudis have literally spent tens of billions on their air defense network and they couldn’t even shoot all of these down. They fly low, have a small radar signature when saturating the airspace, it’s literally impossible to shoot them all down. They also appear to have some stealth features, like a honeycomb, composite airframe. I’ve ever heard that they are resistant to electronic warfare. I’ve seen footage of Ukrainian soldiers trying to shoot them down with MANPADS and not being able to get a lock. They’re one big headache in a very small package and now Iran is sending Russia more larger, faster and more advanced / powerful variants. Ukraine is not going to have a good winter.
Iron dome… 😂
Iran is now sending larger, faster and more advanced/powerful drones to Russia. Things are not looking good for Ukraine, especially with winter fast approaching. If this years winter turns out to be extremely cold, then both the EU and Ukraine will suffer badly as a consequence.
Hello . I am commenting from Tehran, Iran. Iran sells the cheapest and oldest drones with old technology to Russia. Iran has missiles and weapons that it does not show or sell in any way. In the conducted tests, all of them hit the center of the target with an error of half a meter. Now many countries of the world have requested to buy Iranian weapons.
everybody overhere thinking that it is normal to kill civilians with these drones. the sending them to residential area’s very heroic or not .
If design from Iran and produce in China. I think they will be a lot cheaper.
Great Aryan nation, long live Iran ✌✌
in Iranian Drone Bazar ,,,, Buy one get one free 😂😂
Its like battle tanks N64
All the best Russia 🇷🇺 👍 👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪Iran
Please watch the video on you tube the blood line Iranians are ruling the world for 1000 s years even 3 pope in Vatican were Iranian by blood line that is why Israel hates them because they they know Iranians or aryans are the rulers 😂
Countering this kind of loitering munition with small-arms won’t solve the problem. It took visual observers and operators armed with – let’s say – 12,7mm x 108 DShKs or 14,5 x 114 KPV series alongside C-UAS jammers to ward off the attack.
Iran 🇮🇷 drons
these drones changed the game they are effective cheap and powerful in future they will get more advanced with better artificial intelligence
shahed 136 💪💪💪
“Overall it is not gonna change the war…?” You sure? Why are countries asking their citizens to leave Ukraine now? Have you not heard of that? All these drones attack are just a prelude to a major offensive….The final battle and total defeat of Ukraine is imminent…
♥️♥️♥️🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷💪💪💪
Long live IRAN and resistance axis
Down with United Snakes of terrorist America
For 40 years they did their best to stop Iran from buying weapons.
Now they are doing their best to stop Iran from selling the Iranian made weapons. 😅
There is no such thing as a “Kamikaze Drone” that’s a total Oxymoron.
if you want to survive this global economy there will be a shortage of therapists for PTSD all over the world.
What’s difference between a KD and a cruise missile?
Kamikaze Drone costs 20k per each , and has 2000 km range , Cruise Missiles costs 1 million each and its more detectible in radar , easily intercepted
Long live iran
I mean if ukraina is using drones why not russia
Al..joo..zzzz..era. Always with a foot in the enemy’s camp… flogging sandals.
The NATO cartel and USA put sanctions on Luxury goods while Russia and now China has put sanctions on the Energy, needed to run the economy. So who wins- please guess.
Also expensive NATO and USA provided defense vs Russian cheap Kamikaze Drone offense. So who wins – please guess.
TEL AVIV: Israel recently tested a laser weapon system that successfully knocked drones, mortars and rockets out of the sky
Machine cant be kamiaze. Its means to give your life. Ukrainian drama AGAIN. Go go Putin.
🤣😂🤣
Those are not drones , those are magic flying carpets from Iranian Mullahs. That is an act of terrorism by the axis of evil.
Israel sold these to Azerbaijan.
Thank you Iran for helping kill hapless innocent civilians despite you full-time duties of killing scores of protesters in your own country
this like the thing from black ops 2
FACT! The Big Battle Of UAVs! Not Even Russia, Iran Kamikaze Drones Are Winning & Dominating The W4r.
usa 🦖🐲😈👹
What does ukraine have to do with america ???? What is america tax money spent on ukraine ??????
It’s originated from the Jihad principle
Russia cannot run out weapons…They are just fooling these other countries that are supporting Ukraine
War should happen between military forces, but not with civilians infrastructure. Russia knew that they can’t capture Ukraine anymore. So Putler is giving distress by his arrogant way. World needs to end him. Ukrainians, russians as well as the whole world will celebrate his death grantly.
Useless American air defence system 😆
BACK in ww2… England used barrage balloons with cable to snag V2 rocket and planes very efficient..cost effective too
These drones hitting west of Ukraine cities are targeting energy infrastructure and command centers. If Kiev militia try to shoot down these drones and succeed, it doesn’t explode in the air. When it hits the ground, it explodes. Keep that in mind… KIEV MILITIA… when the drone falls on civilian infrastructure. You guys are just throwing it off course.
Where are those fools which they call it toys 🤣🤣
It is time Iran was put in the ” State sponsor of terror” list , along with Putins Russia.
This doesn’t seem like a formidable weapon on its own, but if cheap & highly reproduceable then high numbers can offset lack of sophistication. What’s most concerning to me is that the grotesque religious pigs in Iran have such tech in the 1st place. That they dev it on their own? While lacking the refinement & responsibility to possess such tools, being as primitive & religiously incompetent as they are in all other ways.
When white people design it, call them precision cruise missile, when brown people do the same, call the kamikaze suicide drones
Don’t forget that Azerbaijan bought a bunch of Kamikaze drones from Israel and used it against their war against Armenia.
Very good, record the voice quite softly then put the mindless sound effects on at high volume. Excellent work idiot.
I disagree based on the variance related to the infra structure asymmetric destruction.
Best OSCAR Drone 2022 goes to Iranian-Russia Uraaaaaaaaaaaaa. USA Israel pls crying
This is revolutionary…. Why? Because these drones cost about $20,000 to produce, but the US Stinger missile costs $40,000 to produce, and it might miss
Typically Kamikaze (wind of God in Japanese) are used when a country has nothing left and is on the verge of surrender.
It’s a every effective weapon
KAMIKAZE and BAYRAKTAR
Ukraine, Russia, Iran, US, NATO..this is going to get completely out of control. Cmon leaders get your act together. PEACE 🙏
Jihad drone
This is entire circus of a comment section praising kamikaze drones targeted at civilians is not even below what I expected from Al J*zeera viewers. You’re as braindead as US congressmen clapping at US bombing of Irak in the 2010s.
Long live Iran and Russia 🇮🇷 🇷🇺
I’m from iran and I must assure you that this drone(shahed 136),is not our best kamikaze drone.it’s not even the 20th!!! We have some unreveal part of drones,but the revealed ones are: “KIAN 1&2″….”ARASH 1&2″…”KARRAR”…”MERAJ 531” “SHAHED 161″…”SHAHED 171″…”SHAHED 191″…and so on…
I don’t understand why Iran declared war when Russia is at war with Ukraine
even the west is scared of them
Most drones are ” kamikaze”. They just use that word for effect to further demonize Russia.
What, do they think there are little pilots inside, like WW2 movies are their only frame of reference? Silly.
Time for the Philippines to indigenously manufacture this type of weapon for future conflict against China and unlikely but still possible against Malaysia and Taiwan.
Goodjob IRAN
It’s a flying bomb donated by a terrorist state to murder civilians by another terrorist state and the first terrorist state provide operatives to fly them on their murderous mission
Nice background music
It is cheaper and more supplies like Costco. Why waste expensive missiles? Expensive missiles should be used to attack high value target.
He is confused comparing Apples and Oranges together or doing it om purpose.
Can we stop the GPS or Glonnas using a frequency jammers?
