Polit Affairs - The ultimate target for all weapons produced in Iran is Israel and also Israelis have developed weapons especially for targets inside Iran.
We know that both countries alongside Turkey have large arsenals of Drones developed to help them increase influence in middle east, Caucasus and north of Africa. and they're pretty good at using em. I searched the net for a single article on this issue, to compare the drone power of Iran and Israel, and was wondered that no one has worked on it.
First of all, when we talk about middle east, we have to consider all historical and cultural facts. now four countries are trying to be the main power in this volatile region. and all conflicts in it and around it, stem from this competition.
Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. So the Iran-Israel crisis is a war of power, not ideology. if Israel was really worried about Iran becoming nuclear, which by the way is their right, as Israel has its own nuclear weapons and no one cares, Israel would have tried to reach an agreement, like US and Europe, but they are blocking any chance of agreement because they don't want to see Iran rise.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have been widely used in recent armed conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, Caucasus and even Ukraine.
Although Turkey is making waves with its Bayraktar drone, the real regional drone rivalry is currently between Iran and Israel. While Iran tries to compensate for its isolation from military suppliers and high technology weaponry by developing drones and supplying them to its proxies around the Middle East, Israel boasts a highly advanced repertoire of drones that are being marketed around the world, and to some Arab countries. This competition is slowly but surely changing the nature of warfare and thereby altering the geopolitical map of the region.
Following the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, Israel began developing drones to gather real-time intelligence on its enemies. Consequently, Israel has had operational drones for decades now, and shows no sign of slowing its pace of development. In 2019, roughly 50 local Israeli start-up companies were working on drone prototypes, with the country’s drone industry worth billions.
Iran also started developing its drone technology during war with Iraq in 80s and have so far been so successful, that now not only Israel feels real danger but also these drones are changing wars all over middle east, north of Africa and Europe, where Russia uses them against Ukraine.
It's critical to know, these drones and missiles and all Iran has developed in recent decades, are direct results of sanctions. yes, economic sanctions and isolation are really deadly. you can see how Iranian currency has become the least valuable in the world, which shows people are under tremendous economic pressure. though the progress made under such a pressure, will become the basis of a powerful Iran tomorrow. not only the military issue, they have developed unbelievable in other industrial areas too and are able to manufacture almost everything by their domestic knowledge.
So Iran now has stationed its drone technology around Israel, from Syria, Iraq and Palestine, to Yemen and Lebanon. this is what Israel has also tried to do by providing drones to the republic of Azerbaijan in north of Iran.
while many countries around the world have just understood effectiveness and importance of drones, The drone war between Israel and Iran and its proxies has been raging for at least two decades now and exemplifies how strategic warfare has evolved along with the development of drone technology, especially as it has come to be used by poor countries and non-state actors.
So, there are a few factors we should take into account for comparing these drones. first of all, Iran's arsenal is much more bigger than Israel's. Iran has more than 50 different types and classes of drones, each of them developed specifically for a designed target and task. not only Israel, no other country in the region does not have such a big arsenal.
second of all, Iranian drones have proved their efficiency in real wars, from Yemen, to Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf and even in Ukraine. they have been successful in battles, where most advanced Western Defense systems were available.
