#白宫: Iran is ready to supply attack drones to Russia #
According to CNN reported on July 12, US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan told reporters on the 11th that the United States believes that Iran is preparing to provide hundreds of drones to Russia, including the Tchatha integrated drone that can carry weapons.
The US media told a cold joke to the people of the world: Russia, the world's second-largest military power, actually wants to import drones from Iran, which ranks 14th in the world in military strength. Looking at the accompanying picture, it turned out to be a copycat American predator drone.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has been under U.S. blockade and sanctions for nearly half a century. The Iranian military's most advanced F-14 Tomcat fighter can only rely on mutual dismantling spare parts to maintain flight capabilities, and God does not know how much combat power is left. Although the Iranian military claims to have hundreds of Tchathan UAVs, it is highly questionable whether Iran can actually create so many drones in the case of key equipment sanctions by the United States. If military drones were so easy to do, the military drones of Russia, the world's second-largest military power, would not be so crotch-pulling.
The US media also claimed that Russia smuggled weapons and ammunition from Iraq to the Ukrainian battlefield through the border between Iran and Iraq, which was denied by the two Countries at the same time. In fact, this argument does not hold up, the two Iraq have Russian weapons and ammunition, Russia has, and more, the stock is very sufficient, there is no need to smuggle from Iraq. The large-scale American equipment that Iraq has, Russia can't use, and there is no point in smuggling it. Unless it is some small objects such as night vision goggles and thermal imagers, it is not used with other weapons and equipment, but it is somewhat useful.
The reports of the US media are not empty, and the Russian military does lack a single drone. Military drones, especially Tschattam UAVs, are sparsely rare in the Russian military. Russian soldiers can only do it themselves, adding improvised weapons pods to small drones for emergency response, but this practice has limited impact and is also a bit humiliating. The world's second largest military power has fallen to such a point that people are lamenting.
After the Russo-Ukrainian War entered the second phase, the Russian army extensively used drones in the Battlefield of Ukraine for reconnaissance strike operations. However, from the relevant media reports, most of them are small civilian drones. Where these small drones come from, I think everyone knows, but after all, it is a civilian version, and the combat effectiveness is very limited.
After receiving the Haimas rocket artillery system, the Ukrainian army used its 70-kilometer range and 1-2 meters shooting accuracy to fight as a cruise missile, and specially selected high-value targets such as the Russian army's arsenal command post, and achieved shocking results in the world. On the 11th alone, 17 Russian military targets were reportedly destroyed by Ukrainian troops. The Ukrainian army used Hippocamps rockets to strike precisely at the Russian military ammunition depot in Novokakhovka, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, which was controlled by the Russian army, causing a violent explosion to raz the perimeter of the ammunition depot to the ground. The explosion was so violent that it was said to have blinded the "titanium alloy dog's eye" of the US military reconnaissance satellite.
The Ukrainian army can achieve such results, not because the Haimas rocket artillery is so strong that it is difficult to meet the enemy, but that NATO's military reconnaissance capabilities are too strong, Russia's military reconnaissance capabilities are too weak, and the air and space forces do not have all-weather air supremacy. If the Russian army can have dozens of Schath UAVs, they can carry out the task of reconnaissance and strike against the Haimas rocket artillery system 24 hours a day. The Heymas rockets of the Ukrainian army would be destroyed as soon as they were discovered, how could the Russian army have suffered such heavy losses!
The Ukrainian army now occupies a favorable position, and the Haimas rocket artillery system can quickly maneuver along the road, shoot a shot to change places, and the firepower is fierce and accurate, as if it has become a guerrilla artifact on the Ukrainian battlefield. In the first stage of the war, the Javelin anti-tank missile was crowned the god of the first world war, and now the Hibas rocket artillery system is the god of the first war, not the American weapons are too powerful, but the title of Russia's second military power in the world is not worthy of the name!
If Russia really wants to import Ahmed drones from Iran, it is a big cold joke.
