First Evidence: Russia Uses Iranian Mohajer-6 UAVs In Ukraine

Mohajer-6 UAV

Ukrainians fished out an Iranian Mohajer-6 UAV in the Black Sea near Odessa. This is the first evidence of their use by Russian forces in Ukraine.

Iranian Mohajer-6 was likely adjusting strikes of Russia’s Geranium-2 (Iranian Shahed-136) suicide drones in Odessa. Russians likely lost control over the UAV and it fell in the Black Sea.

 

 

Last month, US and other Western intelligence officials claimed that Iran had transferred at least 300 UAVs to Russia, including Mohajer-6.

Moscow and Teheran do not officially confirm the supply of Iranian UAVs to Russian forces. However, the Russian military have been actively using Iranian-made Shahed-136 UAVs, rebranded as Geranium-2, in the recent weeks.

Mohajer-6 has been produced since 2017. The UAV is aimed at reconnaissance, surveillance and attacks. It may carry up to 4 high-precision ammunition. Its flight range is up to 200 km at a speed of 200 km/h. The UAV may fly up to 12 hours with the maximum flight altitude of 5400 m.

Shit country makes shit military

Russia needs 300,000 North Korean and 30,000 Hezbollah soldiers because its own soldiers nowadays are pathetic whining pussies, poorly trained and demoralized.

Shit troll how ironic when you stupid, pathetic, whining pussy say so….

I saw the various videos of Geran-2 loitering munitions “falling from the sky” in Odessa and Ukrainians hitting them with their buildings. The noise is genuine and consistent with a propeller driven by a gasoline engine. But as I wrote before, Geran-2 was in development since 2019 and is very different than Shahed-136 (AI and all that).

But. if the footage of Mohajer-6 is genuine, I’ll prepare my foot for eating (doubles as crow. So Crow’s feet if you will) since AFAIK Mohajer-6 airframe was not among the joint projects. Meaning Russia, purchased, we sold and transferred them from Iran to Russia and what I wrote was false..

Just as a little tactical explanation, for us, Mohajer-6 is one of the ways that last second corrections are performed or applied to the drones like Shahed-136. Things like GPS spoofing can happen near or over the target (although these drones use a combination of other methods beside sat positioning like visual range, near IR, IR or thermal image detection of the target), camouflage can be applied, target may move (moving a building is not an easy task though, so I’m probably talking about other things, like some wonderwaffen that shoots rockets and scoots) and if it is in this configuration, it is disposable. Notice that the body is intact and undamaged. It might be discarded or it might be lost due to EW. Anyway, a plane with some UH-60 escort flew from Romania to Odessa today after big booms were heard. Aerial radar or cargo? Maybe we find out later.

Oh, I wrote about the drone noise. I think in addition to big bada boom, it packs a nice terrifying psychological effect too, what do you think?

the noise is fine, “mosquito requiem of death”

Nobodyinparticular

Quite similar to a paraglider motor – probably not a good time to take one of those up for an aerial view of Odessa!

...

something like Ju-87’s sirens I guess…

For something that fell from the sky, the drone is almost intact. Pretty strange.

And floats with perfect balance.

With its weight (>300 kg empty) and for an unpressured hull, it sure is hermetically sealed and full of air!

Humph, the mighty russia cannot produce quality drones, that it had to buy from another copycat country.

Humph, mighty America can’t produce anything on its own, they even use Chinese components for F-35. They beg Israel to help them with air defense systems and tanks, they begged Germans to finally fix M16, von Braun made all their rockets…. Turkish Baryaktars are made from components from 10 different countries. Keep trolling.

I recall standing on the potemkin steps in odessa looking over the beautiful coastline and enjoying a summers day chatting with friends and strangers alike that was in the good old days before the 2014 CIA coup . One day I hope to stand again on those steps with a Russian flag flying the colours unfurled in a land free from Western corruption and hate where both Ukrainian and Russian can live again in peace

We in Denmark are verry good in many sports, especially in kneeling and swallowing.

Because of southern climate and absence of ice skating traditions like in rest parts of Russia. “Dynamo” (Minsk) or “Dynamo” (Moscow) is much better than any hockey team from Kiev, but football team “Dynamo” (Kiev) was one of the best in the USSR, for long time it was the basic club for national team, like CSCA (Central Sport Club of the Army) in hockey. Sport society of “Dynamo” was belonging to the ministry of internal affairs (police department). Formally all members of all army and police teams were not professional players, but officers of the army and police who plays a bit at evenings after work. Now they are pros, but plays worse than “amateurs”, who won championship of Europe and Olympic games (football) and numerous World and Olympic cups in hockey. That’s why Russia is number 1 in hockey and won more gold medals than others, even though we have started participation in international cups 30 years after Canada, which have won 1/2 of all gold medals in this period. Now i’m not interested at sports at all, it’s just show business, commercial enterprise for making money.

1 shot 300 Nazis down. “Up to 300 militants were eliminated by a missile attack on the point of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries in the area of the village of Kalinovka, Nikolayev Region,” the ministry’s spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, announced during his daily briefing today.

Odessa will be liberated

Ukrainian prisoners of war asked the DPR parliament to join the formed Cossack battalion named after Bohdan Khmelnitsky. – TASS. And in Kherson, Ukrainian prisoners of war VOTE in a referendum on joining Russia (these will also serve as volunteers in the Odessa Brigade).

So this thing lost contact with Russia, which didn’t move anywhere, and then fell into the sea where an eagle eyed Ukie spotted it. Then, after setting out to sea braving any further drones or Su25s that might be about, the eagle eyed Ukie was lucky enough that the drone was not only in perfect condition, but hadn’t sank in the time it fell from the skies and the Ukies found a boat large enough to tow back some freshly painted plywood? Ban ban Iran, ban ban Iran, we heard this sheet before.

Jas

How do you know it was the Ukies who rescued it? I thought the Russians did.

Rightiswrong

You should have read rather than thought then, it says so clearly at the top of the article. The Russians wouldn’t be fishing out their own gear while wondering with the MSM and affiliates whether or not they buy drones from any particular nation.

More click bait so some NATO fanboy can say reports in the media say Russia buys Iranian drones, get sanctions on Iran. The other day it was Chinese troops driving to Donbas with their gear, until it was shown that it was Chinese troops who had taken part in the recent Vostock exercises in the Russian Far East.

It was mad Mac’s song: “Bomb, bomb Iran”. McCain was really crazy old fart, too bad he wasn’t shot in Vietnam after falling from the cabin of his A-4. There is story (true or not – don’t know) that local peasants wanted to smash his skull with their hoes as revenge for napalm, but russian officer stopped them to deliver Mac to “Hanoi Hilton”. Why?!

Rightiswrong

So that McCain could be shown to be the coward and turncoat he became. Killing him would have made him a martyr, letting him live showed the Vietnamese had compassion and mercy, honourable traits. McCain spewed propaganda for his hosts, eventually went back to the USA, cheated on his faithful wife who had reared his children while he was a POW, then he sold his soul to get elected.

Ban ban Iran is the updated version, lol.

Yeah, i know all of that and agree, but it’s better to have him as young “martyr” than crazy old fart, warmonger and pathological russophobe. In the prison he has recorded some audio tapes for radio broadcasting with proposal for the US soldiers to lay weapon down. He was using crutches when arrived at home, but photos and video of departure from Vietnam (hours before) clearly shows no crutches, i.e. he simulated prison tortures to apology his cooperation with enemy. Mac was tricky scum, so i presume it’s better when such people lives shorter life to make less harm for good people.
