Trump is praising Iranian drones now. I wonder what made him say it

Trump is praising Iranian drones now. I wonder what made him say it

This just in, America wants to own the deadliest war weapons in the market

Weird

You have the deadliest weapons. Iran has cloned your own drones and now Trump is praising them.

they're good clones
iran puts chinkshit to shame

this tho
if i was a terrorist group, id be buying iranian too

maybe all these ookrainians nazis blown to smitherenes

Trump's probably wondering if it's cheaper to buy this shit from Iran than to make it ourselves.

Those look like miniaturized versions of the one of ours they shot down and captured a few years back when Obama was president.

Iran webt all in on missles and drones like 20 years ago, look at the modern battelfuelds of the earth, oh look its all missiles and drones, lol. They choose wisely. Say what you want about arabs, but them persians are not dumb goatfuckers.

its really all chinkshit
they just import the components and modify them

he wants a generic loitering munition

copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a german drone

They're probably produced by Indians for less than minimum wage so he LOVES them for that reason and wants to follow the example

I must say the retractable ski-sleds for landing are genius. What probably surprises me the most is the fact that they are able to design this stuff despite the heavy sanctions imposed on them
files.catbox.moe/qcouua.mp4

Because 21 reaper drones got shot out of the sky by Houthis and each one was 33 million dollars. Part of the reason US wanted to make peace was because of how much of a waste of money this is.

yes u kikes copied the german DAR and iran copied ur harpy

America never had a suicide drone that traveled 1500km and cost only 20k and didn't need gps or an external signal to guide itself

A cruise missile costs 3 million USD and relies on satelitte guidance. These Iranian drones are sometging else. They have a Google map on board, an altimeter and speed gauge and a simple program that tracks them on the onboard map can't be jammed...only shot down. Which makes it economically impossible to stop because interceptors cost at least 100k

No it isn't. How is providing your allies support a waste of time? America isn't going hard enough on the towelhewds.

It would seem to me, especially judging by the Ukraine war, that the pinnacle of drone warfare isn't having some special uberdrone "project" but the ability to crap out a neverending assembly line of cheap as dirt but singularly effective drones that never stop coming. I would spec into that tree too.

Isreal must dump that faggot Bibi if they want in our good graces again, simple as.

Didnt they just copy our drone that they shot down?
they just cost reduced it

23 since oct 7

yeah
just that the iranian removed the anti radar feature

lmfao cope.

And the thought of someone mass producing say, 50,000 of these and unleashing them in a swarm over the course of a 72 hour period is frightening

no one cares when a drone gets shot down
and these drones aren't supposed to even return

The Houthis didn't buy theirs; the Iranian techs came in and showed them how to make them now Houthis have lots of cool drones and missiles. They're not stupid. Being whipped in their madrasas by their instructors makes them highly disciplined for studying math and engineering.

Israel does a lot for America dumbass.

It could be the beginning of a successful partnership.

like what? start wars?

yes

No one in the USA can do the cool shit Iran and China is doing because of regulations, tariffs and air laws. Like sticking a Electric car motor on a drone like they are doing.

what anti radar feature

No they fucking don't.
The equivalent of a flying dorito drone (~20-30k each) is a Switchblade 600 with is >100k each with half the payload.
In typical US MIC fashion, every single item is priced at a premium and production is fucking low as a result due to Raytheon's need to up the price to the maximum possible amount before selling it.
Trump wants effective shit that doesen't break the bank, but as long as the MIC has a lobby group he won't get shit.

Hes right. Our military industrial complex wants as much money as possible and that weakens us. We should be able to spam a million drones for $20.00 each and be done with it.

Russia Iran and China are doing this and if we cant we lose by competition.

Our system makes it as expensive as they can get away with on purpose. That is what hes pushing against. The cost effectiveness.

I think Iran's proxies use chinkshit as well

Well cheap drones are good for America but bad for military contractors and the politicians who are paid off by them so I see why they're upset.
Remember when they were shooting down $10,000 drones with $2 million missiles that was hilarious

These drones are used where cruise missiles were used before, not as tactical weapon.
The thing you are talking about are chink 500$ FPV drones that are just regular consumer drones strapped with some payload. Spending a few thousand to blow up a tank is thousands times cheaper than the cost of that tank.
Shaheeds are used to blow up stationary targets faraway from front lines and they cost around 50k$ or something.
The things with them is you can have dozens of these for the same price a western missile would cost. They are basically immune to AA, because intercepting them would cost you tenfold of their actual cost.
For every AA missile you can have 10 shaheeds. Drones are the ultimate weapon of 21th century.

Small drone workshops were ran out of business in the past 4 years because of China Tariffs, amazon etc. While when you go outside the USA there are drone workshps all over latin america, china, europe that can customize your drones and put a bunch of cool features.

but as long as the MIC has a lobby group he won't get shit.

this anon gets it

the DAR and the Harpy are anti radiation loitering weapons
they go after radars
pretty sure the ARD-10 which the Harpy is based on was also anti radiation

It might be a ploy

Iranian drones literally use Chinese motorcycle engines. Look it up

right but iran has the new shahed-238 equivelant with micro jet engine

Chinese motorcycle engines

u dont know what ur talking about retard

so?

War is, was, and always will be about economics. Low cost, high volume drones are a great idea.

Let’s get some Bayraktar from Erdogan

so its a better copy, cope

I wonder what made him say it

They are charging him 300k for a drone iran makes for 5k

You're a faggot fucktard imbecile
militarydrones.org.cn/md-550-engine-price-p00583p1.html

Let’s get some Bayraktar from Erdogan

found the roach lmfao
those aint worth shit

It would have made more sense if Trump hadn’t nudged the new Syrian puppet to sign the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel on his last trip. Zion Don is still very much alive and he's not even hiding it

I remember watching a video on YouTube about Iran and their military stuff being reverse engineered from American military tech. Not going to look for the video. Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to make American drone weapons cheaper.

Iran is allied with Russia, India and China and probably gets their raw materials from them.

Yeah, Iranian weaponry is just reverse engineered American tech they captured.

Israel just sucks wealth and resources from the U.S. It's like a reverse colony situation.

Well, if America was allowed to use their resource deposits instead of importing everything from China, it might be cheaper. It's going to take a while to get a supply chain in the U.S. going unless the Democrats want more regulations and greedy American businessmen want to cut costs by relying in China.

are u stoopid or are u stoopid?

We have the most expensive weapons because of the MIC contract bloat and bullshit, see F-35. Imagine if that was on a fixed $ contract.

this is giving off real "we spent 20 years changing the taliban out for the taliban with better gear how is that a waste" levels of cope lmao

Trump is quickly growing tired of the niggers and jews

damn, why isn't this ever talked about? checked and it is true that US admits to some, but not 21

Nope.

chinkshit

Doesn’t work, that’s what everyone (except you) is saying. The people who use it even the russians and other militaries and military documentary makers. Everything that china has managed to copy, low tech stuff, brakes easily or doesn’t work at all, blows up in their faces or hasn’t got all the parts - bits are substituted with crayons or painted on.

The only thing china does well is lie

No not really, their lies, globo’s lies from Reuters, WEF, UN & Google , are silly and when you match them up to the aborigine tier cave-chink reality. It’s quite hilarious.

Ahh, I wanna it arr be true :(

Like AI chink bridges? Just close your gooky eyes and step forward with perfect faith Wang Poo (wang & poo, two plops in a designated pod) and see if faith keeps you aloft.
It’ll make 1 more chinky poo webm to post.
Pic: anyone for ‘duck’?

like what, steal R&D, give tech to enemies, start wars, and kill american presidents when they don't like them?

Can we not build some cheap facility to house the Jeets so they’re not competing with actual Americans for housing. It also means we don’t have to pay them anything.

Give them manufactured dorm-style housing, cafeteria access, and government provided KIA. Then reduce their salary to $6,000 a year. Then pajeets will actually be worth importing.

but it is talked about, u just havent been paying attention
picrel old infograph that needs updating
its 23 x mq-9 shot down since oct 7

Remember the Battleship movie when those aliens lobbed a bunch of missile/bombs at American warships and the Americans used something called Kiwis to shoot them down? Like mounted Vulcan mini guns that autotrack/aimbot the enemy munitions?

Why not create a smaller and more maneuverable ship or vehicle that can aimbot Iranian drones with gatling guns?

It still wouldn't be worth it, you'd have to have some sort of constant automated cleaning system to keep them from getting shit in every nook and cranny

lmao @ you and your inferiority complex
my posts weren't about which is superior

but since you made it so
this kind of weapon doesn't benefit much from speed so putting a jet engine that in the end reduces its range isn't much of a benefit

Good thing America didn't outsource all the manufacturing to places like China. Like imagine being a superpower, then turning over decades of R&D to a foreign power that was merely some backwater shithole, giving them your factories and technology, teaching them how to make and research, all so you could save a few dollars on cheap plastic shit, lifting them out of poverty and allowing them to challenge your superpower status.

Crazy. Good thing this is just fanfiction or this would be one of the most embarassing downfalls in humans history, possibly surpassing the roman empire replacing it's military with foreign mercenaries.

u said they removed anti radiation seeker, was just telling u iran has a better one, cope

Israel does a lot for America

Like raping and killing their children.

since it's not an anti radiation weapon anymore it doesn't need it

I want cheap drones

wont happen
american military complex only exists to make overpriced trinkets
their DoD bought bunch of ~1.5mil usd crop dusters, slapped imperial fuckton of tacticool gizmos onto them and turned them into ~30 mil usd ground attack planes

Oh yeah. You just made me remember all those horror stories from a few years back about the pajeets cutting holes in the seat of their large hauling/delivery trucks and taking a dump as they drive through Canadian roads and causing traffic accidents.

lmao u fag

retarded shitskin

cute projection kike

Those things sensors are so powerful they can track bullets in flight, gluing CIWS on drones on little boat drones is a great idea

i'm russian and you're a shitskin with inferiority complex

It's not just traitorous and greedy American businessmen who outsourced to India and China but also Israel has been selling American military tech to Russia and China. And you can't forget a the Leftist Democrats who keep complaining about pollution and passing more regulations that forced those greedy American businesses to relocate their factories to China.

Indian hands typed this post

all u do is projection kike, move along

Yup. Israel is screwing over the U.S. by handing important American military tech to Russia and China.

Adonai will show you Mohammed cultists the way.

I'm starting to really hate the word drone. That's just a tiny cruise missile with hardware that isn't forty years old in it. If we're calling shit like this drones now then bullets are hypersonic drones and knives are analogue drones.

Anything is better than paying them $60,000 a year minimum, $170,000 a year on average and gaslighting the population into thinking it’s cheaper.

I'd imagine they're assets of someone in the government or some shit.

all i said was the iranian copy isn't anti radiation and you took it as an insult to your national pride
the ground breaking tech of combining a lawnmower engine, wings and a warhead

and all i said was the shahed 238 has anti radiation seeker, which part of that dont u understand dumb kike

I think we've reached a point where a suicide drone and standard missile are both accomplishing a similar task and that the former will only become more numerous (AI guided swarm-types) and more capable of carrying even larger payloads than they do now moving forward into the future.

shit gaslighting

its not gaslighting
the shahed 238 is superior than ur harpy in every aspect
cope and seethe stoopid kike

Art of the Deal you stupid punk. It's called softening up the target. which means a deal is in the offing.

US Navy fags told him they could handle the Houthies for the Jews in Israel.

US Navy got its ass handed to it by Iranian drones used by Houthies, lost now IIRC total of at least 4 F-18s, and made Trump look stupid for sending them and now crawling away in defeat at least as bad as Biden's Afghan.

Fpv drone flight controller $50
Free inav software
Gps $15
Simply program waypoints then trigger dive

very likely this but iran is smarter than to fall for these jewish tricks

They cost $10,000, are made out of off-the-shelf parts, and can blow up a tank or a building.
Obviously that's superior than a $105 million drone that can be taken out by a single SAM (that it can't evade).

Part of me thinks the reason the US and Israel haven’t gone to war with Iran yet is because they know it would turn into a bloodbath. Iran is one of the few countries that invested in drone warfare early - only lagging behind Israel and the US. Even Turkey and China were decades late. Now, it has snowballed to the point where a conventional war would be nearly impossible without heavy losses on both sides. It makes me wonder how a Muslim country was able to think so far ahead

Meant to reply to

It’s not the drones it’s the Iranians themselves. Hashsashim Life

Importing slaves always turns out well.

“They didn’t shoot at me in Doha. Mickey D’s was there. It was great.”

just put wings on tomahawk missiles and they're good to go.

Why not create smaller more maneuverable drones

Because they will cost more and in the end

Auto tracking them is a pain in the ass because of low radar signature and low heat signature.

Based. Fuck niggers!

Which makes it economically impossible to stop because interceptors cost at least 100k

What does the target cost?

Bayraktar was a huge surprise and a very big deal for Russia in early 2022. It was why their kiev offensive failed, without a doubt. Because bayraktars took out the logistics convoys.

But after about a month, Russian air defenses retuned their radars and were able to find them. Every single bayraktar was shot down

Building, warehouse, bridge, airport hanger...does it matter? For 20k a pop you can hit everything. No need to select vital targets. Best of all if your enemy shoots your drone down you still have a falling 250lb warhead

Shaheeds...They have also been used with limited success hitting on Frontline positions

Somebody post webms of the Iranian attack on Israel. It was pure kino.

iran puts chinkshit to shame

you had one too many burgers, they are all made from chinese parts and cannot be assembled without it.

This and all that shit constantly breaks down and needs to go through long expensive maintenance. It's designed to make profit not actually win a fucking war

its really all chinkshit

China makes GOODshit too, and pretending they don't just benefits them

I found this kino the other day that I hadn't seen before
files.catbox.moe/8r9mkc.mp4

He has been pointing out for a while now that American weaponry is way too expensive.

In practice this is just gonna mean more innocent maimed Mohammeds though as controllability reduces.

Even Iran managed to kill more Palestinians with their attacks on Israel than they killed Israelis, as one failed over the Westbank and crushed a Pali.

Beautiful.

They really don't.

Saudi Arabia through The new prince is Absolutely israel through and through you fucking retards.

Trump helped disappear and assassinate the previous legitimate saudi prince to replace it with this Kike half arab full crypto jew double national israeli.

You fucking morons you are so stupid that you don't see what all this theatre is about.

Same reason why the Saudi's didn't lift a finger for Gaza / Palestine while every previous Saudi prince would have put pressure on israel to stop way earlier then that.

Same bullshit in Ukraine with Zelensky the jew too btw, fucking reddit tier intellectually irrelevant retards all around on Anon Babble nowadays.

certain electrical and optical components are from China because they are cheaper than domestic alternatives

it‘s all Chinese

It clearly isn’t. I mean they cloned and modified the engine of a German company, but be that as it may its decent engineering and claiming it’s just a Chinese module kit they assembled is evidently untrue.

I wonder what made him say it

Them wrecking havoc in Ukraine. Although those produced in Russia today are nothing like the original Shahed, everything vastly improved. Basically only the glider shape is left.

You are retarded. Americans don't have Shahed alternative, especially mass production. They focused on overpriced MALE drones shown to be almost useless in conflicts like in Ukraine. Hell, it's not even working against towelheads anymore, like Houthis showed.

somewhat true but all these improvements are being carefully studied by iran and implemented as on geran-2
but wait until u see geran-3

Okay. How about a human manually control the gatling gun but give him aimbot or something. Isn't there tech that can just detect and track very fast moving targets these days?

is he fucking retarded? those stupid flying lawnmowers?

fucking zigger brain diship, I hope he get's JFK'd

lmfao cope.

Yeah, they imported more during the early stages of the war, and later started producing their own version. That said, it’s still a massive advantage for Iran, since they gain valuable wartime information and can adjust things accordingly. Meanwhile, America hasn’t been in a peer-to-peer war since time immemorial, so they now find themselves bogged down even against adversaries like the Houthis

Just order them from alibaba or temu

Lmao.

Iranian govt crippled by an America-Contra scandal.

Swings and roundabouts

No, I meant put a Vulcan minigun on a small and maneuverable ship and give it that autotracking ability to shoot down those drones. Like in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica when the Vipers target and destroy the Cylon missiles when their engines aren't getting shut off by the Cylon backdoor virus hack thing.

The difference is that ours cost a gorillion dollars.

funny enough u say that, the chinese are working on their own version called sunflower-200

Iran also doesn’t completely trust Russia. Most countries do have export versions.
And there clearly isn’t one „HESA Shahed 136“ it’s different model series and modifications/mission kits some allegedly as cheap as 5000 or 6000 dollar, while some are fife up to ten times that amount. And that’s what you would expect some drones are just for saturation, while others are reconnaissance/electrical warfare or high value target attack variants.They also just went public with it in 2021 it’s likely much older.

Also they're gay.

What the fuck is a female drone?

He's trying to stop a nuclear war, genius. Israel is getting too big for their britches (again, like usual), and trying to draw America in to fight Iran on their behalf.

The problem is, Iran is NOT Iraq. Iran has 84 million people, a relatively modern military, their land is a fortress of mountains, and they're backed by Russia, China, and the entire muslim world. And they have nukes. War with Iran would be global, world war 3, with nukes.

He's praising Iran's drones to show several things:
1) He respects Iran's military, i.e. he considers them near peer, which is smart even if it isn't quite true
2) He's showing the warhawks in Israel and American Congress that Iran is no pushover

He's playing peacemaker by showing respect to all sides in this brewing conflict. It actually shows a lot of wisdom, which is surprising.

As i have said before, just use one of these

iran has nukes

We all wish. Hopefully soon.

media lying about what Trump said, as always

five^^

LMAO i bet Anon Babbleike faggot niggers heads are rolling reading that one

Because they're very good. They captured one of our best drones and reverse engineered it

It's all Chinsect crap

Vulcan minigun on a small and maneuverable ship

Still cheaper to create a fast AI drone that hunts down other drones. Miniguns, bullets, and the expensive radar and lidar cost $$$$$. The cheap drone solution requires a directional mic, and a drone that's $5k.

The decision to attempt to shoot down or not, a $20k missile is based on the target cost.

Building, warehouse, bridge, airport hanger...does it matter?

All of these are in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range at a minimum, never mind their contents, just at a base cost level, then you have the strategic value of the target.
But yes there is a need for a cheap drone countermeasure at a similar cost.

you still have a falling 250lb warhead

Shahed warhead size is about 35kg - 40kg of explosives. Around 80lbs, similar to a 152mm/155mm shell. That's really how the Russians are using them.

Iran 'mass producing' copies of U.S. drone after reverse engineering design from machine it claims to have captured

copium

copies of U.S. drone

show me drone yum yum

Spast halt dein maul
Trump just realized that they are spending way to much. shit like predator drones are sick toys and nice to have but ukraine showed that the 5$ temu drone strapped with a live rgd/rgo or f1 does the job thats all but well as the great US military you cant just strap F1s to temu drones so whats the next best thing fuck yeah your right iranian drones
Du hurensohn

It's not like these things are even hard to make. Just chuck an Ardupilot into a delta-wing airframe, which you can blow-mold out of styrofoam. Add fuel tanks, an engine, and some servos. Oh, almost forgot the explosives. That's about it.

I priced out making homemade V-1's for Ukraine a few years ago, they came to about $25,000 each (using a turbojet instead of a pulsejet).

Wait till he announces a truly bigly great bantastic new deal with Iran only he could get.
It will look exactly like the same deal he walked away from years ago.

And like clockwork, less than a week later there will be a news article that an Iranian based LLC started a week ago will be purchasing 500 million in Trump owned crypto.
Totally not corrupt, if they give you free money you take it bros.

This is the China umbrella corp that is buying 300 million in Trump memecoin a week after our Tariff war with China.

One day when we hunt down /ptg/ shills and tar and feather them on livestream they will have earned it and then some.

nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/politics/trump-crypto-purchase.html

B-but muh Biden bros.

The problem is that LockMart/Boinging/NorthrapeGummis want to charge $800,000 for a $1 paper airplane. That's not gonna work out well for the U.S. in modern "spam tens of thousands of drones at the enemy" warfare.

FFS just look at the "Switchblade". The company was charging something like $3000 per individual unit (it was reported as much higher, but the higher price was "controller plus multiple drones"). Ukraine is building COTS quadcopter drones for a tenth of that.

Or look at the "Black Hornet" spycopter; you can literally buy one off AliExpress nowadays for under $200. IIRC the original ones were sold to the military for six figures.

An 80 pound shell has most of the weight in the casing, it carries like 1/10 of that in actual explosive. 80-100 pounds of raw explosive is fucking huge, that’s like half of the charge of a 500 pound bomb

about 35kg - 40kg

It’s 40kg to 60kg and likely more, if treaded for range. The fuel left is a major factor too.

traded^^

It could be the beginning of a successful partnershi

Just one bomb...one oportunity to connect those two countries against world jewry
Will Trump capture it...or just let it slip?

The fact that the (((media))) isnt losing their shit over Trump praising Iran drones means its a fakeout. Youre right.

Iran has been independently researching and making drones since the 70-80s due to technology and materials embargos preventing the mass manufacture of modern missiles you fucking idiot
necessity of the mother of invention and the iranians thought it was absolutely necessary to have aerial munitions so they can bomb the jews when the kikes decide to shit in the fan again
does nobody on this fucking board read history books anymore
