It will, but I would not suppose the cost-effective ratio will be o pair with this lawnmower
And what is more important, as it is jet powered, it will create a visible signature, yet can be intercepted by the Igla or any other type of MANPAD the Ukrs get for free in thousands. But as it carries triple the warhead, the effects will be much more devastating.

Oh not only.
It triggers the already planted #hashtags of "evil hardhead ayatollahs" and all the crap produced towards Iran, which fades like a fog for everyone lucky enough to visit this great country and meet its people.

The HIMARS is a really good system and caused some headaches for Russian units.
HIMARS is not particularly better to any MLRS Ukrs had in disposal, only limited in numbers and firepower.
The way they are using it is ridiculous. They treat a simple rocket launcher like it would have been a strategic one. The whole logistics is applied to it, single vehicles are being constantly relocated to a different hideouts, and the targets are being selected and authorized by the NATO intelligence staff assisting the Ukrs. Used mostly for terror strikes at civilian infrastructure, because only then can inflict any real damage, and still is being intercepted on a regular manner.
It would mean a total fiasco of a weapon system other than hyped for commercial purposes. Each and single system that US provides is being advertised and pushed to the other NATO countries later. It is one giant stage for making commercials, yet each and any next piece is being compromised and quietly hidden.
Who heard of Bayraktars lately? Yeah, me neither

More than that! What does Iran export beside oil? Nothing!
You are probably joking now, or need a serious education in a matter.

Very few of these have actually been used and its causing panic all over Ukraine. Just wait until they unleash a swarm of 50 at a time.
Bro, they are being pounded by those 24/7 for like 4th day now. We talk about dozens of drone strikes across the whole 404, with an absolute lack of materials for those being intercepted.
They have killed their own infrastructure with missing AD missiles and killed more people with the bullets falling down than drones taken out. The sky over some cities there looks like a good, Arab wedding, or Bagdad in 1991.
Yesterdays spin of "destroying a house" was just another staged case, as the G2 strikes a thermal power plant across the street, while the house was totally demolished by the S-300 missile that failed to intercept it. 150kg warhead just tore the house to pieces.
It seems that the story behind a crater in the playground from the last week was caused by the AD missile as well.

Definitely the drone thing would have been a non issue if they did put a bit more effort in the past on it. But I guess better late than never.
I disagree.
You still make the conceptual mistake.
One can't just walk into military Wallmart and buy drones.
Those had to be tested for years, the whole infrastructure had to be created for them, they needed to pass acceptance trials etc.
That would mean, that Russkie already decided the share of Iranian-made equipment years ago - that might be the reason why they didn't invest much in the same classes of drones.
Did they speed up the implementation now? Obviously!
They fight with Iranians side by side for almost a decade, do you realize that?
I was struck with that only this weekend, as for this covid madness lots of people lost the feeling of time.
A hell of an experience, and occasions to play with Iranian toys without much attention created, right?
They have some 10 different models in use. Double that in development. Flying, sailing, diving and driving ones.
We see endless materials now with Lancets and other suicide pieces, but they are ALL documented with the use of another drone. Is it Orlan, or a Forpost, or Orion - no idea. But obviously, those are there, in numbers, and good enough to assist and document strikes of single usage pieces hitting S-300 batteries, right?
Russkie never ignored the drone issue, at least not when they could already afford that.
It would be hard to call a pioneer ignoring the spheres he pioneered in, right?
Edit : seems that a ch-101 barrage just arrived the 404 in several locations, wide columns of smoke in Dnepropetrovsk suggesting that Pridnestrovskaya TPP was taken out.

Something was hit in Kiev, Zhytomier and Charkov. Power is off there.
And Ivano_frankovsk get a dose, too.
That is day 5 and ticking, right?
