Iran's "Drone Jellyfish" strategery is working...

[RobDownSouth]

Iran has developed a new method for killing state of the art American F-35 fighter jets: The Drone Jellyfish strategy.

American pilots reporting that once they enter Iranian air space to "decapitate the leadership" for the 283rd time, they are now encountering a thick swarm of drones in seemingly random formations and altitudes, constantly changing speeds and altitudes to confuse the Air Force jet's state of the art radars.

Some of the drone swarm may contain anti-aircraft missiles, most do not......but that's not the point. The aircraft is forced to take evasive maneuvers to get around the "jellyfish tentacles" and while the pilot is occupied by the swarm, one or two Iranian soldier pop up from spiderholes in the ground below and fire one to three Qaem surface-to-air missiles (commonly called "ManPads" in the military). The Qaem has been the missile of choice against inbound cruise missiles and attack helicopters, Iranians have discovered that the "Drone Jellyfish" are effective when pilot reflexively attempt to lower altitude and hug the ground to avoid the swarm.

These Iranian ManPads are fourth generation Stinger missiles with laser lock capability on enemy aircraft. Iran readily admits it copied and reverse-engineered American designs and technology to upgrade their missiles to fourth generation deadliness

So far, one confirmed kill and one pending by Iran against America.

Waaaay back in 2003, you might recall General Colin Powell called ManPads the future of the battlefield.

I'm sure we're working on it. Maybe you should move to Iran, Rob. Since it's so great and they hate Jews just like you and a Hitler.

Yeah,not so much! NOTHING is working for Iran! But keep listening to the lying MSM...while they are still around! soon they will be gone for good! 117% TRUTH

The problem is that visual acquisition is a critical operational constraint of most Iranian MANPADS. Because these systems lack built-in search radars, the operator must physically spot the target with the naked eye or basic optics before they can lock on and track an enemy. They also have short-range and altitude constraints that are easily overcome.

You are correct on all counts.
Nonetheless, one confirmed kill and one unconfirmed kill unlock the possibility of more widespread usage by Iran.

For those keeping score, it's what Rob, 1 to 5000?

That is funny , and yet.... If Iran can prolong the conflict 2, 4, or 5 years or more , isn't that a win for them? A "we got a deal" , "the deal was broken" endless conundrum cycle.

They've been at it for 50 years. Define win.

Iran won, the US lost. Thats it, thats the whole story.

Meanwhile Donald Trump is going back to the 19th century to get battleships!

You’re ALWAYS overselling Iran’s successes, Rob…

Sounds familiar…
