Seeing that the fighting nation is getting more and more courageous, and the ermaozi are defeated, Biden, seeing that the situation is not right, he began to launch a public opinion war against Russia, openly accusing other countries of providing weapons assistance to Russia, saying that Russia "deceives the small with big and small" and "invades" Ukraine, and wants to use such remarks to call on more countries to support Ukraine. If you think so, please type the word "Ula" in the comment area so that everyone can see the true face of Qing Laomei. So back to the point, which country has aided Russia with weapons? What weapons are the weapons that are aided? What was the impact on the war situation in Russia and Ukraine?
The U.S. side said Iran aided the drone to Russia
As we all know, the reason why this Russian-Ukrainian conflict will last for so long, in addition to the fact that the fighting nation has always been humanitarian and unwilling to "kill the ring" against Ukraine, there are also a number of Western countries led by The Old United States who are doing evil, they continue to provide weapons assistance to Ukraine, and on the other hand, they forbid other countries to lend a helping hand to Russia. Accusing the Iranian government of aiding Russia with military weapons, as many as hundreds of drones, and preparing to send people to Russia for training, Biden even spoke in front of the media, saying that the United States does not rule out the use of force against Iran. Is this intimidation? So why is Lao Mei so afraid of Iranian-aided drones? What is the power of Iran's drones? Let's move on.
Iran's drone production history
Speaking of Iran's assistance to Russia for military weapons, presumably there are still many netizens who can't believe it, Russia as a military power, even if you want to seek help, you can't find Iran that has been in a state of blockade, you know that Iran has been sanctioned by the United States in recent years, in our impression is that all fields are restricted, and military strength will certainly not be very strong, so what is the level of Iran, which has been in a state of blockade, what is the level of its drones?
According to the description of experts, Iran's drones may have caught up with Russia in some areas, with the ability to change the war situation between Russia and Ukraine, speaking of which, Iran's drone level is advanced, thanks to the old United States, why say so? When the relationship between the United States and Iran was still good, the old United States aided Iran with a helicopter repair plant, Iran on this basis transformed into a holy city aviation industry company, successfully developed a 50 kg, strong air storage capacity of the "Migrator-1" UAV, and then no matter how turbulent the domestic situation is, how to sanction foreign countries, Iran still regards the "development of UAVs" as the top priority, and even specially sent overseas students to learn relevant knowledge, but the strength is limited after all, and has not developed advanced UAVs.
At this time, the old United States appeared again, the old United States used its strength to interpret "where there is a war, where there is the figure of the United States", Iran in the Iraq War in 2004, found the remains of the newly developed "Predator" UAV in the United States, and then took it back for research, wanting to extract the advanced technology of the old United States to improve the level of its own drone, and then in 2011, through electronic warfare, captured the most advanced "RQ-170" stealth drone of the United States at that time, 2018, And a U.S.-made MQ-9 UAV into the pocket, the UAV can be said to be the world's largest number of actual combat UAV, many times in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries to carry out combat missions, the successful capture of this time, for Iran's research on UAVs has a very important significance. In 2019, it shot down the "Global Hawk" UAV worth $120 million in laos and the United States, and Iran has continuously extracted the technology of the old AMERICAN UAV in these countless wars to develop its own UAV, and indeed lived up to expectations, Iran's UAV technology has become more and more advanced.
Performance of Iranian drones
In 2019, yemen's Houthi armed forces with 10 Iranian-developed drones, hit Saudi Arabia's Aramco oil company, you know, at that time the company deployed 6 sets of American "Patriot" air defense system, when Iran's UAV was found by the air defense system, but anti-missile missiles can not judge the flight path of the UAV, can not implement effective interception, so it was penetrated by Iran's UAV, enough to see how powerful the Iranian UAV is, but also many times in the Syrian civil war, Helping Syrian government forces fight against anti-government groups is why the Old United States is very afraid of Iran's aid to Russia for drones.
After such a long period of "interception", "abduction" and other means, Iran has a very complete UAV production line, once became the country with the most UAVs in the Middle East, and also exported to Ethiopia and Venezuela and other regions, and even built the 313rd underground UAV base in May this year, which is Iran's first underground combat base for UAVs, which has been listed in the Iranian defense forces, and then established Iran's first naval UAV division, and now Iran has entered the " The world's top ten drone powers" ranks, so Iran is fully capable of assisting Russia with drones.
And Iran's UAV, whether in appearance or performance, are very similar to the old United States UAV, such as Iran's Kaman-22 UAV, its aerodynamic design and the old United States MQ-9 UAV god-like, the UAV maximum combat radius of 2000 km, the maximum range of 3000 km, with all-weather combat capabilities, the installation of broadband satellite communication equipment, so that Kaman-22 UAV has a strong communication capability, such a UAV, if to the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, is bound to greatly enhance the Russian military combat capabilities, It gave the Ukrainian army and the Western countries a heavy blow.
Why does Russia need to buy drones?
And we can also see from the situation in Russia and Ukraine during this period that the strength of the fighting nation in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles is relatively weak, on the one hand, the fighting nation has been relying on the military weapons left by the former Soviet Union to support the status of military powers, and the investment in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles is relatively small, on the other hand, in terms of high-end accessories, it has been sanctioned by Western countries, and the obstacle to the development of drone technology is relatively large, resulting in Russia's level in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles has been relatively low.
Take Russia's most advanced "Orion" UAV, although he has super endurance, can fly for about 24 hours, can load about 200 kg of ammunition, and the old United States "Predator" UAV is in a grade, but "Orion UAV" has no satellite antenna, can only rely on the ground radio control, which leads to "Orion" UAV compared to other UAVs, the response time is longer, easy to miss the best time to attack, and the number of "Orion" UAVs is particularly small, Speculation is that the Fighting Nation produces an estimated 30 or so aircraft a year, and this number simply cannot shine on the battlefield. So why hasn't Russia seized the time to produce drones?
In fact, it is not that Russia does not produce, but the current situation does not allow Russia to produce, we all know that in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the number of drones on both sides is relatively fast, but Ukraine has always had Western countries in aid, but the number of drones in Russia itself is not very much, Western countries also take various sanctions against Russia, the production of drone accessories can not be imported, it can not produce drones, coupled with the rapid changes in the situation on the battlefield, the production of drones needs to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and funds, In the face of this situation, the purchase of drones is much more cost-effective than the production of drones, but I believe that Putin the Great can also understand from this Russian-Ukrainian conflict that relying on imports will one day be subject to people, after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia will definitely increase the research and development of drones, what do you think about this?
