Kamikaze drone Iran Shahed 136 | How it Works

the Kamikaze drone from Iran called the Shaheed 136 with a Russian designated name geranium II now let us look at why is this a big deal this Russian caliber cruise missile costs around 1 million dollars while the American Tomahawk cruise missile cost about 2 million dollars comparing with the Shaheed 136 it is more or less a low-budget cruise missile with a reported price tag of just 10 to 20 thousand dollars dependent on variants while the average price of cars here in America is around forty thousand dollars when launched in swarms these are a Menace In This Modern Battlefield but in this content we will look at how this drone works the moped engine behind it and the basic step-by-step process of how this works again this wouldn't be fair if the pros and cons are not analyzed and how they are being tackled we will also look on how to counter the drones with old and new weapon systems so let's get straight to the content this is the Iranian saheed 136 a modern single-use loitering munition or some might call it the Kamikaze or suicide drones now let us analyze what is a loitering munition a loitering munition commonly referred to as a suicide drone or Kamikaze drone loitering Munitions are cheap rapid response time against hidden or covered targets that appear for short periods of time without positioning high value drones close to the Target area it has its advantage and disadvantages which would be clarified throughout our content now let us look at the specification the Drone has a reported length of 3.56 meter with a wingspan of 2.59 meter the Drone has a delta wing configuration let's compare this to a person who understands its size as you can see this is pretty huge for a loitering or suicide drone the al-saheed waits around 220 kilogram while that Warhead could weight ranging from 5 to 35 kilograms it all depends on the mission all that weight is amazingly being powered by a motto md550 a 50 horsepower civilian engine which makes it pretty slow this is a small moped engine or scooter engine sourced from China at a cheap price let us look at how it sounds like soldiers on the battlefield reported it sounded like the World War II German planes the Stuka interestingly the Germans intentionally developed this siren to create a psychological impact in the battlefield they would install the wind driven siren that uttered a screaming sound at a maximum dive speed instead of the German Stuka siren in this modern Battlefield he will be hearing a two-stroke moped buzzing in the air which would be soaring through the sky these are reported to be the flaps located just beside the two-stroke engine and these are what are called the elephants which function like the elevator of the plane from what we know the al-sahed drones are Guided by glonus or anti-radiation Seeker located in the middle of the fuselage for those of you who are not familiar what are anti-radiation Seeker it is a missile or drone that is designed to detect and Home in on an enemy radio emission source to strike its Target combining the delta wing configuration with the two-stroke engine will give the Drone a range of 1000 kilometers while the reported cruising range is 2500 kilometers now let us look at what is inside the belly of this drone this is the Rado or rocket assisted takeoff which we will be explaining later in the content let us look at the basic step-by-step process of how this works step number one the Drone is carried on a simple truck carrier that looks like it is for cargo transport but inside this cover are these menacing swarm drones each launcher in a standard truck container transports around five menacing drones step number two inertial navigation or glonis data a Russian alternative to GPS are fed to these drones points to be noted they are using a civilian inertial navigation system but could be upgraded in the future step number three add a press of a button the Drone is launched with the rocket assisted takeoff this rocket assisted takeoff is ejected just like this was installed to reduce weight and efficiency and let the two-stroke engine take over step number four as these are swarm drones a total of five to ten are used all at once to overwhelm the enemy air defense system step number five the Drone will be loitering at extremely low altitudes which would make them difficult to shoot the UAV drones would be operating in a swarm in addition the al-shaheed 136 are quite small and have a composite structure which makes them difficult to detect with the help of Raiders step number six when it reached its targets the Drone will dive in with all five or just even two remaining drone swarming in full speed to destroy the target now let us look at its limitations the Precision of the Drone terminal is derived from commercial inertial navigation system if this is jammed or disabled or obstructed both of these could stop the Drone from getting to its Target as stated this drone is flown at very low speed this could be countered by the javelin or even Stinger missiles but the cost Factor comes into play the solution is the Japan which is an all-weather capable German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with built-in radar these could counter most of the Kamikaze drones at an effective range of 5.5 kilometer the second cheaper version is the Soviet Union anti-aircraft guns U23 used by Ukraine it was designed to engage low-flying targets at a range of 2.5 kilometers which are battle tested against these drones considering all these limitations we have to remember these are swarms drones operating in a group of five one drone could always get past the defense system and thus create a dangerous weapon to the modern Battlefield at AI tele we produce basic engineering content
