The Shahed-238's increased speed over its propeller-engined predecessors and other additional capabilities present serious new challenges for air defenses. #militaryreview #drone #shahed #kamikaze
These are Iranian drones, which are also produced in the Russian Federation from imported components. Drones produced in the Russian Federation and Iran differ in some components, mainly in the navigation module, body material, and possibly something else. There are no differences between avionics and engine. It is known from the Ukrainian side that the original drone has a 20 kg greater load than the Russian one, but has worse positioning accuracy. How true this is is unknown, because the Russian side does not publish anything on this topic at all. Most likely, in the Russian Federation several times less Geranium-1 is produced than is purchased ready-made.The most advanced original Russian drones are far behind in the field of avionics and engines. They have small charges and fly short distances (~60-120 km). But the electronics are much more advanced because they use npu (hardware neural networks) to recognize targets by graphic images, signatures, frequencies.
no matter what you and i saying russia have got the real weapons that United nato are now lacking, and right now the united nato are lacking two big things ammunition ,and oil gas, to produce the weapons bad to begin with.
Been exploring the potential of nitromethane fueled engines for drones and its pretty intriguing.. The mass to power ratio is extremely high and the piston engines are much less expensive to mass produce them turbines and can be made very small.. I've yet to see one but a ducted fan driven by a nitromethane engine could produce the supersonic thrust which is highly desirable for terminal phase of munitions. The down sides of nitromethane engines being extremally short engine life, hazardous fuels is largely mitigated by the nature of drones being unmanned and semi-disposable.
@@usernwn7qe cheaper from smaller turbojet. less likely to be shot because small physical size. can be launched from anywhere and have very short time prepare for launch.
