Observation: in the past three weeks the reported use of #shahed136 has declined significantly.
Early estimates (September) suggested Russia had planned to obtain 1,800 - 2,400 aerial munitions from Iran, either directly, or through relicensed assembly; many are Shahed-136.

Interceptions have slowed, implying use of the drone has declined. Increasing failure rate of interception is highly unlikely.
A few possibilities:
1. Attrition
2. E/W countermeasures
3. Stock replenishment cycle
4. Fewer media reports
5. Supply interruption
6. Training cycles

1/ ah oui ça c'est le dernier "truc" à la mode.. et qui revient "souvent" là..
sauf qu'il va falloir arrêter de s'astiquer avec cette histoire, parce que d'abord on montre qu'on ne comprend pas comment les armées "fonctionnent" par rapport au pouvoir politique.

2/ l'engagement se fait sur base de la defense nationale, donc comme dans toute autres armées. on fabrique des armes, ce n'est pas un crime de guerre en soit, sinon on aurait aussi condamner toutes les cies du monde par rapport à tous les conflits et on aurait fait pendre ts
3/ les ingé de la planète entière après des conflits.
y compris toutes les "petites mains" qui aidaient a faire des bombardiers durant la WWII donc des jeunes femmes dans des hangars aux US qui auraient selon cette logique, contribuaient à massacrer les habitants de Dresde etc.

The recent deep-strikes by #Russian drones marks a shift in Russian strategy, and the dynamics of the #UkraineRussiaWar in the short-term.
I've gathered info, analysis, and developed graphics for a deeper look at a key component of this trend: the #Shahed136.

The application of #drones in this war is well-documented: reconnaissance, direct-attack, fire-correction, harassment, and at least in one instance—aerial combat.
Drones are used as force-multipliers and enablers serving numerous roles—sometimes simultaneously.

The Shahed-136 is no different. It's recent introduction in Ukraine is a means to circumvent or saturate Ukrainian air defense, strike targets in the rear, and instill terror.
That terror manifests night after night, defined by the distinctive whine of it's motor.

Gli addestratori di #Tehran, secondo quanto riscontrato dal New York Times, stanno operando in particolare da una base militare russa in #Crimea, là dove è stata collocata la maggior parte dei velivoli iraniani consegnati a Mosca.

1/ Allegedly a Ukrainian drone, literally chopping bits of his Ru counterparts..
Next step : full battles drones up in the sky..
(we expected to see this one day, since the full use of drones in diff modern armies, years ago..)

2/ As we are also witnessing, for some times now, huge amount of diff specific drones coming on the battlefield to the UA army (here 800 pieces given by Taiwan) or to the Ru army (from Iran)

3/ and as this war will last for some more times, we could also see in the coming future, some specific drones, being able to fly in a specific "bubble" to protect & interdict any incoming threats before it reaches their aim on the ground.

So Russians using something like Shahed-136, which confirmed few days ago. There might be some other types of drones from Iran but might look it later or maybe if i can have a proper commission for them.
But right now Shaheed or Geran-2 comes first.

The model are based on available photos and dimension of the drone. Well would be nice if it can be carbon-copy accurate but perspective view just dont give me the option.
The RCS modeling is as usual frontal section 60 by 60 degrees horizontal and 65-110 degrees (45 deg of arc) vertical. Propellers are omitted as well, propeller is likely made out of some form of fiberglass or wood, and those may have even smaller RCS than the drone.
