For an enlisted infantryman your very, very smart!! U should have been snapped up by military intelligence, officer corps, one of the 3 letter agency's!! One of the best Ukraine/military bloggers on YouTube!! Keep up the great work Ryan!! From an ex British army, Royal corps of signal reg.
Thank you. This us the level of detail that is missing from mainstream media. Even if they mention HAROP, they would say that it's manufacturing in Israel and leave a very pregnant pause.
The lights don’t make sense though. I can’t see any light source on harop pictures and there’s no reason for it to have them. With that shape it could even be a rouge/stolen Shahed drone, though I can’t see lights on that one too.
Another option could be an F-14 sent to intercept, with its wings swept back.
No matter who launched this attack, it’s a pretty good way to try to disable Iran’s armaments industry, if that was indeed the target. Ukraine would definitely benefit from strikes like this. Perhaps this is a friendly foreign player like Turkey or Azerbaijan allowing their territory to be used as a launching point. Kurdish forces in Northern Iraq could also be behind this. Whoever it was/is, I wish them luck.
Well, Israel has great history of spying operations so it's not so far to think that this drone was launched from inside Iran. What do you think about that possibility?
I have little knowledge within the world of Warfare. But I can't help but question why a covert drone operation, would have a drone with multiple underlying lights on, with the ability to give away intel on what type of drone it may have been, and open suspected targets. Unless its reflections, but I would also question why would it be so reflective?
From Canada, been in Armenia 2 years now. I've been to Artsakh 11 years ago.
1. Azerbaijan faked an incident at its embassy yesterday as a casus belli to evacuate their embassy completely before conducting this attack.
2. Iran has warned Azerbaijan repeatedly not to try and change the status quo in regards to the territorial integrity of Armenia proper. (This is the Syunik region, not Nagorno-Karabakh). Iran wants to maintain the status quo as it wants multiple borders to have access through the South Caucasus and onto Russia and the Black Sea. Azerbaijan annexing the Syunik region of Armenia would give Azerbaijan, and Turkey, (a NATO power) a monopoly of Iran's access routes, and hence has made it clear to Baku that this would be a red line for them.
3. Azerbaijan has a history of probing attacks against its enemy to see what its initial response will be. This is also a gesture to get on good terms with Western countries who dislike Iran for a whole host of reasons including nuclear proliferation, and supplying Russia with weapons.
4. Israel is concerned about Iran's nuclear proliferation and is seizing the opportunity to work jointly with Azerbaijan on this to capitalize on the world being distracted around the Ukrainian crisis.
5. Armenia does not operate these Israeli made drones. It's not supplied by Israel. They may have reverse engineered less than 2 or three, but they formally do not operate them in their arsenal.
Mr Ryan McBeth, I just wanted to take a second and tell you that you do and amazing job with your videos and views. The amount time you put into you analysis is tremendous!! I think I remember you saying that you were an 11M? I was an 11C and retired with 22 years of service. From one infantryman to another, keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to watching future videos!!

The Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran was just attacked by a lone gunman, killing the security chief

Thank you for your inspirational and informative comment on this but especially on the war in ukraine
Allow me to state for the record that I personally fired no drones and thus am not responsible.

couldn't happen to a more deserving target. Any regime that would beat a Lil ole gal to death, on account of not wearing a scarf needs to go.

WSJ story claims it was Israel: https://www.wsj.com/articles/israel-strikes-iran-amid-new-international-push-to-contain-tehran-11675004979?st=m3vtswhq62iiw2v&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

WSJ is reporting that it was Israel. First one I've seen report that.
Honestly, that blurred drone picture looks a lot more like out going tracer rounds than a drone.
Look at the picture again, why would a kamikaze drone be flying to a target with lights on it's underbelly?
This could get ugly very quickly.
