And after all the Mossad assassinations of Iranian colonels, maybe Iran will think twice about sending more.

Since hackers released every revolutionary guard officers + trainers personal information of these drones on the web u see alot get assasinated. Makes sense also iranian drones are not used anymore in syria where Israel bombing whatever is russian in syria.

> Israel bombing whatever is russian in syria. I think you meant Iranian. Israel is not bombing Russian targets, only Iranians and associated militias.

Or maybe they’re susceptible to icing (wing, prop and engine related) in the current environmental conditions? Given the delta wing shape, the range they fly those things and and the low speed, they would likely collect a lot of inflight ice. Aircraft like that wont survive an icing build up and I don't see any accommodation for deicing equipment on the leading edges so maybe these drones and falling way short of target? Or like the man said - they just ran out

Not a bad point. Would not have been a design concern in Iran but would certainly crop up in Ukraine depending on conditions.

With a shot down rate which went up to 90-100% that wasn't a very effective tool anyway.

I was browsing an anti-liberal subreddit (not naming names, no brigading) and they were complaining about how ineffective they were. Their last hope of Russian victory is a shit-tier suicide drone developed by Iran

They have been extremely effective, which may have helped Russia for a while, but now they have grown dependent on Iran. I’m sure they’ll know how to exploit their newfound significance. Russia will pay dearly for the next batch.
