1
00:00:00,359 –> 00:00:03,419
the Kamikaze drone from Iran called the
2
00:00:03,419 –> 00:00:06,480
Shaheed 136 with a Russian designated
3
00:00:06,480 –> 00:00:08,340
name geranium II
4
00:00:08,340 –> 00:00:10,740
now let us look at why is this a big
5
00:00:10,740 –> 00:00:13,679
deal this Russian caliber cruise missile
6
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:16,680
costs around 1 million dollars while the
7
00:00:16,680 –> 00:00:18,600
American Tomahawk cruise missile cost
8
00:00:18,600 –> 00:00:21,480
about 2 million dollars comparing with
9
00:00:21,480 –> 00:00:24,779
the Shaheed 136 it is more or less a
10
00:00:24,779 –> 00:00:26,460
low-budget cruise missile with a
11
00:00:26,460 –> 00:00:28,740
reported price tag of just 10 to 20
12
00:00:28,740 –> 00:00:30,720
thousand dollars dependent on variants
13
00:00:30,720 –> 00:00:33,300
while the average price of cars here in
14
00:00:33,300 –> 00:00:36,120
America is around forty thousand dollars
15
00:00:36,120 –> 00:00:38,940
when launched in swarms these are a
16
00:00:38,940 –> 00:00:41,219
Menace In This Modern Battlefield
17
00:00:41,219 –> 00:00:43,800
but in this content we will look at how
18
00:00:43,800 –> 00:00:46,500
this drone works the moped engine behind
19
00:00:46,500 –> 00:00:49,379
it and the basic step-by-step process of
20
00:00:49,379 –> 00:00:51,719
how this works again this wouldn’t be
21
00:00:51,719 –> 00:00:53,640
fair if the pros and cons are not
22
00:00:53,640 –> 00:00:55,980
analyzed and how they are being tackled
23
00:00:55,980 –> 00:00:58,260
we will also look on how to counter the
24
00:00:58,260 –> 00:01:00,539
drones with old and new weapon systems
25
00:01:00,539 –> 00:01:04,940
so let’s get straight to the content
26
00:01:08,880 –> 00:01:13,140
this is the Iranian saheed 136 a modern
27
00:01:13,140 –> 00:01:15,840
single-use loitering munition or some
28
00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:18,720
might call it the Kamikaze or suicide
29
00:01:18,720 –> 00:01:19,920
drones
30
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:22,500
now let us analyze what is a loitering
31
00:01:22,500 –> 00:01:25,259
munition a loitering munition commonly
32
00:01:25,259 –> 00:01:27,659
referred to as a suicide drone or
33
00:01:27,659 –> 00:01:30,659
Kamikaze drone loitering Munitions are
34
00:01:30,659 –> 00:01:33,060
cheap rapid response time against hidden
35
00:01:33,060 –> 00:01:35,100
or covered targets that appear for short
36
00:01:35,100 –> 00:01:37,680
periods of time without positioning high
37
00:01:37,680 –> 00:01:40,320
value drones close to the Target area
38
00:01:40,320 –> 00:01:42,600
it has its advantage and disadvantages
39
00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:44,700
which would be clarified throughout our
40
00:01:44,700 –> 00:01:45,840
content
41
00:01:45,840 –> 00:01:48,840
now let us look at the specification
42
00:01:48,840 –> 00:01:52,079
the Drone has a reported length of 3.56
43
00:01:52,079 –> 00:01:55,860
meter with a wingspan of 2.59 meter the
44
00:01:55,860 –> 00:01:58,979
Drone has a delta wing configuration
45
00:01:58,979 –> 00:02:01,020
let’s compare this to a person who
46
00:02:01,020 –> 00:02:03,780
understands its size as you can see this
47
00:02:03,780 –> 00:02:05,759
is pretty huge for a loitering or
48
00:02:05,759 –> 00:02:08,360
suicide drone the al-saheed waits around
49
00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:11,459
220 kilogram while that Warhead could
50
00:02:11,459 –> 00:02:15,239
weight ranging from 5 to 35 kilograms it
51
00:02:15,239 –> 00:02:17,280
all depends on the mission
52
00:02:17,280 –> 00:02:19,680
all that weight is amazingly being
53
00:02:19,680 –> 00:02:23,099
powered by a motto md550
54
00:02:23,099 –> 00:02:25,800
a 50 horsepower civilian engine which
55
00:02:25,800 –> 00:02:28,440
makes it pretty slow this is a small
56
00:02:28,440 –> 00:02:31,260
moped engine or scooter engine sourced
57
00:02:31,260 –> 00:02:34,319
from China at a cheap price let us look
58
00:02:34,319 –> 00:02:37,459
at how it sounds like
59
00:02:40,920 –> 00:02:43,260
soldiers on the battlefield reported it
60
00:02:43,260 –> 00:02:45,180
sounded like the World War II German
61
00:02:45,180 –> 00:02:47,940
planes the Stuka interestingly the
62
00:02:47,940 –> 00:02:49,680
Germans intentionally developed this
63
00:02:49,680 –> 00:02:52,319
siren to create a psychological impact
64
00:02:52,319 –> 00:02:54,360
in the battlefield they would install
65
00:02:54,360 –> 00:02:56,700
the wind driven siren that uttered a
66
00:02:56,700 –> 00:03:01,040
screaming sound at a maximum dive speed
67
00:03:02,220 –> 00:03:05,099
instead of the German Stuka siren in
68
00:03:05,099 –> 00:03:06,720
this modern Battlefield he will be
69
00:03:06,720 –> 00:03:09,000
hearing a two-stroke moped buzzing in
70
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:11,099
the air which would be soaring through
71
00:03:11,099 –> 00:03:13,519
the sky
72
00:03:14,459 –> 00:03:16,560
these are reported to be the flaps
73
00:03:16,560 –> 00:03:18,720
located just beside the two-stroke
74
00:03:18,720 –> 00:03:21,180
engine and these are what are called the
75
00:03:21,180 –> 00:03:22,920
elephants which function like the
76
00:03:22,920 –> 00:03:25,440
elevator of the plane
77
00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:27,840
from what we know the al-sahed drones
78
00:03:27,840 –> 00:03:30,659
are Guided by glonus or anti-radiation
79
00:03:30,659 –> 00:03:32,640
Seeker located in the middle of the
80
00:03:32,640 –> 00:03:33,720
fuselage
81
00:03:33,720 –> 00:03:35,700
for those of you who are not familiar
82
00:03:35,700 –> 00:03:38,640
what are anti-radiation Seeker it is a
83
00:03:38,640 –> 00:03:40,860
missile or drone that is designed to
84
00:03:40,860 –> 00:03:42,900
detect and Home in on an enemy radio
85
00:03:42,900 –> 00:03:45,480
emission source to strike its Target
86
00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:47,760
combining the delta wing configuration
87
00:03:47,760 –> 00:03:50,220
with the two-stroke engine will give the
88
00:03:50,220 –> 00:03:53,220
Drone a range of 1000 kilometers while
89
00:03:53,220 –> 00:03:56,340
the reported cruising range is 2500
90
00:03:56,340 –> 00:03:58,019
kilometers
91
00:03:58,019 –> 00:04:00,480
now let us look at what is inside the
92
00:04:00,480 –> 00:04:03,780
belly of this drone this is the Rado or
93
00:04:03,780 –> 00:04:06,299
rocket assisted takeoff which we will be
94
00:04:06,299 –> 00:04:08,519
explaining later in the content
95
00:04:08,519 –> 00:04:10,920
let us look at the basic step-by-step
96
00:04:10,920 –> 00:04:13,379
process of how this works step number
97
00:04:13,379 –> 00:04:15,659
one the Drone is carried on a simple
98
00:04:15,659 –> 00:04:17,760
truck carrier that looks like it is for
99
00:04:17,760 –> 00:04:20,340
cargo transport but inside this cover
100
00:04:20,340 –> 00:04:23,100
are these menacing swarm drones each
101
00:04:23,100 –> 00:04:25,259
launcher in a standard truck container
102
00:04:25,259 –> 00:04:27,660
transports around five menacing drones
103
00:04:27,660 –> 00:04:29,460
step number two
104
00:04:29,460 –> 00:04:32,639
inertial navigation or glonis data a
105
00:04:32,639 –> 00:04:35,040
Russian alternative to GPS are fed to
106
00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:37,560
these drones points to be noted they are
107
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:39,479
using a civilian inertial navigation
108
00:04:39,479 –> 00:04:41,940
system but could be upgraded in the
109
00:04:41,940 –> 00:04:44,759
future step number three
110
00:04:44,759 –> 00:04:47,100
add a press of a button the Drone is
111
00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:48,660
launched with the rocket assisted
112
00:04:48,660 –> 00:04:49,680
takeoff
113
00:04:49,680 –> 00:04:52,380
this rocket assisted takeoff is ejected
114
00:04:52,380 –> 00:04:54,360
just like this
115
00:04:54,360 –> 00:04:56,639
was installed to reduce weight and
116
00:04:56,639 –> 00:04:58,860
efficiency and let the two-stroke engine
117
00:04:58,860 –> 00:05:00,840
take over
118
00:05:00,840 –> 00:05:03,060
step number four
119
00:05:03,060 –> 00:05:05,580
as these are swarm drones a total of
120
00:05:05,580 –> 00:05:08,280
five to ten are used all at once to
121
00:05:08,280 –> 00:05:10,919
overwhelm the enemy air defense system
122
00:05:10,919 –> 00:05:13,380
step number five
123
00:05:13,380 –> 00:05:15,720
the Drone will be loitering at extremely
124
00:05:15,720 –> 00:05:17,580
low altitudes which would make them
125
00:05:17,580 –> 00:05:19,139
difficult to shoot
126
00:05:19,139 –> 00:05:21,780
the UAV drones would be operating in a
127
00:05:21,780 –> 00:05:25,800
swarm in addition the al-shaheed 136 are
128
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:27,960
quite small and have a composite
129
00:05:27,960 –> 00:05:30,180
structure which makes them difficult to
130
00:05:30,180 –> 00:05:32,820
detect with the help of Raiders
131
00:05:32,820 –> 00:05:35,280
step number six
132
00:05:35,280 –> 00:05:37,620
when it reached its targets the Drone
133
00:05:37,620 –> 00:05:40,080
will dive in with all five or just even
134
00:05:40,080 –> 00:05:42,720
two remaining drone swarming in full
135
00:05:42,720 –> 00:05:44,820
speed to destroy the target
136
00:05:44,820 –> 00:05:48,240
now let us look at its limitations
137
00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:50,520
the Precision of the Drone terminal is
138
00:05:50,520 –> 00:05:52,139
derived from commercial inertial
139
00:05:52,139 –> 00:05:54,960
navigation system if this is jammed or
140
00:05:54,960 –> 00:05:57,419
disabled or obstructed both of these
141
00:05:57,419 –> 00:05:59,580
could stop the Drone from getting to its
142
00:05:59,580 –> 00:06:01,699
Target
143
00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:04,380
as stated this drone is flown at very
144
00:06:04,380 –> 00:06:06,840
low speed this could be countered by the
145
00:06:06,840 –> 00:06:09,600
javelin or even Stinger missiles but the
146
00:06:09,600 –> 00:06:12,419
cost Factor comes into play
147
00:06:12,419 –> 00:06:15,120
the solution is the Japan which is an
148
00:06:15,120 –> 00:06:16,340
all-weather capable German
149
00:06:16,340 –> 00:06:19,320
self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with
150
00:06:19,320 –> 00:06:21,840
built-in radar these could counter most
151
00:06:21,840 –> 00:06:24,479
of the Kamikaze drones at an effective
152
00:06:24,479 –> 00:06:27,780
range of 5.5 kilometer
153
00:06:27,780 –> 00:06:30,360
the second cheaper version is the Soviet
154
00:06:30,360 –> 00:06:33,840
Union anti-aircraft guns U23 used by
155
00:06:33,840 –> 00:06:35,340
Ukraine
156
00:06:35,340 –> 00:06:37,860
it was designed to engage low-flying
157
00:06:37,860 –> 00:06:40,680
targets at a range of 2.5 kilometers
158
00:06:40,680 –> 00:06:43,020
which are battle tested against these
159
00:06:43,020 –> 00:06:44,520
drones
160
00:06:44,520 –> 00:06:46,860
considering all these limitations we
161
00:06:46,860 –> 00:06:48,780
have to remember these are swarms drones
162
00:06:48,780 –> 00:06:52,139
operating in a group of five one drone
163
00:06:52,139 –> 00:06:54,180
could always get past the defense system
164
00:06:54,180 –> 00:06:56,880
and thus create a dangerous weapon to
165
00:06:56,880 –> 00:06:59,340
the modern Battlefield
