Fotros' integrated surveillance and attack drone technology comes from captured U.S.-made drones. In the past two decades, Iran has been strengthening its military strength, especially self-developed drones and various surface-to-surface missiles. Iran has cracked and reverse-engineered U.S.-made drones many times, and has achieved many results so far. Fotros is one of them.
Fotros UAV (Fallen Angel) basic parameters, wingspan 16 meters, length 9 meters, flying altitude of 7620 meters, can fly continuously for 16 to 30 hours, the maximum range is 2000 kilometers, equipped for launching The laser designator of the guided bomb is equipped with a photoelectric pod, which is similar in appearance to the Israeli Heron drone.
is equipped with two weapon pylons under the wings. The universal air-to-surface missile is similar to the long-range anti-tank weapon manufactured by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. It can carry up to 4 Sadid air-to-surface missiles using the composite pylon. This type of missile Using television guidance, the is capable of long-range attacks on armored targets.
can carry 350 kilograms of fuel in normal state, and can be increased to 450 kilograms at most, which makes its range easily reach 3,000 kilometers. Because of the weakness of the Iranian Air Force suffers from the lack of effective long-term detection and suppression capabilities, it has no effective long-term detection and suppression capabilities. The emergence of humans and machines has completely changed this.
In the exposed drone underground base, the Haidar-1 cruise missile was also displayed together with Ftros. This type of cruise missile has a range of 200 kilometers. It is Iran’s first cruise missile that can be launched by a drone. It adopts a mid-section Inertial guidance plus satellite guidance,
Iran has captured a large number of American military drones , the more advanced of which is the MQ9 Reaper long-endurance drone, with a maximum take-off weight of 4.76 tons and a total of 7 composite weapons. The pylon can carry one ton of ammunition. The maximum cruising distance of is 740 kilometers, and the effective endurance time is more than 40 hours. later this type of drone was disassembled and studied. This type of equipment is also what Ukraine has always dreamed of.
The Iranian military also displayed the captured MQ1C Gray Eagle long-endurance drone in a relatively high-profile manner, equipped with a starlight wide-area surveillance synthetic aperture radar, equipped with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and GBU-44/B Viper guided bombs. , with a maximum battery life of 60 hours, it can distinguish armored targets at a height of 4,000 meters, its performance is quite excellent, and Iran has also conducted a certain degree of cracking research with relatively low technology.
Of course, the most dramatic one is that RQ170, one of the most advanced U.S. drones, landed in Iran. Later, the outside world learned that Iran carried out electronic deception on RQ-170 and successfully guided it to land. It was then captured and studied. Iran took three years to imitate a drone with the same appearance, but a crash occurred during the test.
Iran’s current drone technology is quite advanced. When the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the USS Princeton missile cruiser, USS Philippine Sea destroyer and other ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz , they were intercepted by Iran’s low-altitude drones. According to the surveillance drone, the close-in defense weapons on the aircraft carrier showed no response. However, it is also possible that the cruiser is responsible for air defense, and the various fighter jets on the aircraft carrier are fully parked, which means they are not in combat status. It may be that they were discovered but not placed. In eyes.
In addition to the big job of tracking and monitoring aircraft carriers, Iran also tracked and harassed the MQ-1 Predator drone of the United States. The Iranian drone used to lock the American drone with a photoelectric detection device and tracked the U.S. drone. The drones were driven away and warned. is considered a type of drone warfare.
And now the American media has begun to claim that Iran will provide hundreds of drones to Russia. Let’s not say whether this news is true or not. Even if it is given to Russia, can the drones that draw heavily on American technology be quickly integrated into Russia? The combat system is still unknown.
