2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

[FriedRiceNSpice]

It's not a cruise missile per say, but a jet powered drone, shaping appears to be stealth-inspired. Hadid-110. Should have lower RCS than Shahed and is faster than it, so would be harder to intercept.


Duration: 1 hour
Range: 350 km
Speed: 510 km/h
Warhead: 30 kg

Shahed's advanced variants have range upto 2,500km, 50 kg warhead and speed of 185 km/h.

Hadids are probably being used against Kuwait and/or Iraq.

Range seems on the short side - and likely much more expensive than the Shaheed.

It surprised everyone even China, and China actually had experience with IAI Harpy. I recall back when Russia first started using Geran as ghetto cruise missile the Chinese maker of Harpy clone were upset and saying "that's not how you're supposed to use them!" because the mindset back then was still more like Nagorno-Karabakh and the original intent of those drones: you launch them and fly them into an area and let them circle above as anti-radiation weapon ready to dive on emission sources.

The Russia really proved those things make great ghetto cruise missile due to their low cost, with bonus emotional damage on top due to the distinctive and very loud sound they make. They got that Stuka "Jericho Trumpet" terror bombing thing going on for them.

Because Iran isn't an island.

Have you not seen the CNN guy driving from a neighbouring country to Iran on a road trip and getting coffee at rest stops as though nothing's happening? With trucks and tractor trailers just resting there while the driver takes a break. Oh and they also have multiple rail link to central Asia carrying oil.

Even Azerbaijan just reopened road trade with Iran lol

Should of used railroad or plane for this stuff. US navy will blocks Iran ship from going in and out.

Cargo train carries less volume compared to cargo ships but it has its advatanges. It is a safer method than ship to transport stuff. And it gets to Iran 2x faster than cargo ship.

Hitting Iran 20 times harder with less than half the sortie capacity you started with would be quite a feat tbh.
