The decades-long tension between iran and israel in the Middle east has now reached a new phase through modern technology, the era of drone war. Both countries have made drone technology very important in their military strategies. Now the question is, who has more drones between iran and israel and who is more powerful in this matter? Let's know the whole story of this drone race.
Iran's cheap but effective drones
iran has made rapid progress in the field of drone manufacturing in the last few years. Especially after US sanctions, iran has developed cheap but effective drones on the basis of domestic technology.
Shahed-136: Iran's most famous 'kamikaze drone' which has also been used by russia in the ukraine war. Mohajir and Ababil series: Iran's main drone platforms for surveillance and precision strikes. Shahed-129: An armed drone modelled on the American MQ-1 Predator. iran is estimated to have thousands of drones, including several suicide drones. iran exports these drones to Hezbollah, Houthi rebels and other groups, making them widely used in regional conflicts.
Israel's high-tech, smart and deadly drones
israel is considered the world's drone superpower. Its drone technology is highly advanced and accurate. Israeli companies such as IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), Elbit Systems and Rafael export drones to the world.
Heron, Eitan (Heron TP): Long-range and heavily armed drones that can strike deep inside enemy territory.
Harop: A loitering munition or suicide drone that loiters and attacks targets.
SkyStriker and Hermes 900: Specialised in both surveillance and attack.
Technically speaking, Israel's drones are equipped with highly advanced sensors, artificial intelligence and precise targeting. Their reliability and lethality are far ahead of Iranian drones.
