At the beginning of the month, Iran began large-scale military exercises on the border with Azerbaijan "Conquerors of Khaybar". Tehran is pulling a tank machinery, artillery, combat helicopters and other weapons. Drones play an important role in the defense of both the Azerbaijani and Iranian armies.

A video has appeared on YouTube showing the flight of Iranian combat drones Shahed 181 and Shahed 191 near the borders of Azerbaijan. The Iranian armed forces have practiced training strikes on the Azerbaijani side with guided missiles.




In recent years, Iran has managed to form entire squadrons of attack drones of various classes, including kamikaze UAVs. In terms of the number of unmanned aircraft, the Islamic Republic surpasses not only neighboring Azerbaijan, but also Turkey.


Meanwhile, on Saturday October 2, the Iranians showed off the new Simorgh drone in the city of Konrak. The ceremony was attended by Rear Admiral of the Iranian Navy Hossein Khanzadi. According to media reports, the range of the new Iranian combat drone reaches 1,5 thousand km, the flight height is about 5 thousand meters, while Simorgh can carry out combat missions for two days.

As for Azerbaijan, its drones are represented by Turkish Bayraktar vehicles, as well as Israeli UAVs manufactured by Azad Systems and other unmanned vehicles.

    Impressive. Angrily. Inexpensive. And there was no weird media video hype like rockets

    Iran has actually made great strides in many areas
    If it were not for the long-term war unleashed by Iraq and the permanent economic blockade, they would have been even more impressive
    There are no problems between him and Azerbaijan.
    Both are participants in the North South project.
    The modern railway bridge between the two Astaras was built.
    The road to the port in the Gulf will be completed and the project will start working.
    And they will sit together at dastarkhan, drink tea from armuda and count the honestly earned bullets ...

        Unsubstantiated. What did they not know?
        Back in 2011, Azerbaijan established the production of modern UAVs using Israeli technologies.

      We are opposed to building up military activity here and to any exercises being provocative.

    Today it is a dark horse. There is also such an opinion

    Gradually, not only the enemies, but also the proxies of the Islamic republic began to understand that the effectiveness of Iranian UAVs is rather low - both in attack characteristics and in the ability to defend against enemy air defense strikes. This discontent was expressed more clearly than others by a Hamas field commander in the Gaza Strip, who declared after the end of IDF Operation Wall Guardian that Iranian UAVs were a cheap alternative to the striking power of Israeli aviation, a kind of air force for the poor. They can strain, but not cause real damage ...

    In serious hostilities with massive use, Iranian UAVs have not yet been used.

      well, it is clear that in Iran technological development is inferior to Israeli or Turkish, because there are much fewer contacts with other countries and specialists. But nevertheless, well done, that they are developing. The road will be mastered by the walking one.

    The President of Azerbaijan is filming next to the Israeli patrolling ammunition "Narop". Ilham Aliyev is an experienced politician, well versed in matters of peace and war, well versed in the psychology of his neighbors, he gives the leaders of Iran an extremely clear hint: "Just stick your head!"
