Is Iran’s new drone swarm Shahed-136 tech a gamechanger? - analysis:

Images of a new Iranian drone launcher have appeared online and in Iranian media over the past several days. The drones, dubbed Shahed-136, were combined with missiles in a drill that Iran says took place last week.

Iran has called these types of drones a “suicide drone,” or kamikaze drone. This means they fly into a target and self-destruct.  Based on Tehran’s state-run and semi-official media, we now know the Shahed-136 exists and is not only a kamikaze drone but that Iran has created a new way to launch the drones in a kind of multiple-launch, or drone-swarming, format.

Drone swarms are a new technology whereby multiple drones are used to strike at targets. This can overwhelm air defenses and/or wreak havoc.

Iran’s new launcher for its Shahed-136 ostensibly gives it the ability to not only hide them but to put five drones in these types of converted trucks. It could conceivably launch dozens of these drones at a target in a kind of “swarm.”

The Shahed-136 is not a very large drone, according to the images, and it contains a warhead, making it a potentially dangerous weapon and possibly not easy to detect because of its size and small radar cross section.

Newsweek reports this January said the Shahed-136 had a range of some 2,000 km.  If Iran were to traffic these systems to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, or Yemen with the types of multiple launchers it has built, this would put a new threat in play in any future conflict with Israel.

Israel certainly knows the lethality of these suicide drones as they supplied the same technology to Muslim Azerbaijan which effectly helped them win the war against Christian Armenia. :negative:

Now, this kind of technology may be used against Israel. Not good.

Praying for the people of Israel, in spite of their terrible government.

Ezekiel 38:16  "...like a cloud, to cover the land." i've been thinking this for a while that this could be describing a multitude of drones...seems like would definitely be part of this war at least- obviously lots of actually people come against the land of Israel, too though...and it doesn't go well for those who go against God's chosen ones...that includes us too who accept God's grace- His gift of salvation- Jesus- by faith...I'm so glad to belong to Him...

Again, Israel is our prophetic timepiece!

For this cause I don't see us here for another year!

TR, didn't you send me a T-shirt that read, "I don’t see us here for another year," dated 2016 or 2017? :unsure: Cry
You got any more?  That one's faded.

There should be an iron on patch to switch out the year so you can still re-use the same t-shirt. B-)    Or cover it up with black duct tape and then use fabric white paint to jot down the current year underneath … :whistle:
