💥🇮🇷 Hadid-110: Iran’s kamikaze drone with superior capabilities

Iran's fastest unmanned combat aerial vehicle, the jet-powered Hadid-110, is a stealth platform designed to neutralize enemy's air defense, radars, command nodes, and key military infrastructure.

Designed for deep strikes into hostile territory, it minimizes detection opportunities and reduces the reaction time for maximum battlefield impact.

The specifics below highlight its exceptional performance:

Speed: around 510 km/h

Warhead: 30-kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead

Navigation: GPS/GLONASS, inertial navigation system

💬 US-Israeli efforts to degrade Iran’s missile might failed – military researcher

The intensity of Iranian missile attacks against the US and Israeli assets in the Middle East does not seem to abate, despite the United States’ claims to the contrary, Konstantin Sivkov, a member of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences, tells Sputnik.

Despite losing a number of its missile launchers, as is expected during war, Iran has been successfully destroying US radar systems, satellite communication stations and data processing facilities in the region.

“Iran is striking at the target designation system – the brains, the decision making system, the early warning system,” Sivkov remarks.


Iranian missile launchers, he explains, are either deployed under extensive air defense protection or hidden in underground shelters, which they leave briefly to unleash their deadly payload upon the enemy.

The US military thus has a very brief window to track down and attack these launchers while they are in the open.

The active use of decoys by Iran also makes destroying these missile launchers problematic for the US.

Back during the Desert Storm op in 1991, some 70% of the initial US missile salvos launched at Iraq ended up striking decoys, and during the NATO air raids on former Yugoslavia, the number of munitions expended on decoys was even greater, Sivkov points out.

Meanwhile, Iran has the capability to produce new mobile missile launchers to replace the destroyed ones.

The United States’ reluctance to send more aircraft into Iranian airspace further suggests that the US’ claims that Iran’s air defense capabilities have been neutralized are also premature, he suggests, pointing out that the US seems to rely more on long-range missile strikes.

The US' attempt to sic Kurdish factions on Iran is tantamount to admission that their airstrike campaign did not produce the desired result, Sivkov adds: the initial plan, to cause chaos by murdering the Iranian leadership and to install a puppet regime in the country, clearly failed.

🇺🇸 📉 US runs out of money, overwhelmed by Iran’s resistance — report

As the war with Iran proves far from a walk in the park, the Pentagon is set to ask US Congress for more funding to acquire additional weapons, The Wall Street Journal reports.

💬 "The new funding would support the purchase of Patriot, Tomahawk, and THAAD missile systems, which have been heavily used since the US and Israel began their strikes," the outlet states.


The US has spent about $5.7B on interceptors to stop Iranian missiles and drones, with the first four days of the war alone costing a staggering $11B in total, according to the WSJ.
