1. Information appeared online that a hacker group Prana Network has hacked the servers of Sahara Thunder, the manufacturer of Shahed drones, and posted a large amount of documents, both technical and related to their supply to Russia. As of now, the leaked documents reveal that:  

   In 2022, a $1.75 billion contract was signed for 6,000 Shaheds + hardware + software. Russia paid part of it in literal gold; it shipped a little over 2 tonnes to iran!  

   The purchase cost of the Shaheds from Iran is: – about $193,000 per unit when ordering 6,000 units; – about $290,000 per unit when ordering 2,000 units. If production is localized in Russia, its cost for the Russian defense ministry should drop to $165,500. 

   The production cost of the Shahed by iran is estimated to be around $48,800.  

   The starting price for sale announced by the Iranian leadership was $375,000 per unit.

2. “Cheap drone” vs Gepard *pew-pew*

3. Paying gold to get garbage. Over a quarter million times 6,000, while half the country is starving or drafted. The Russian Federation has sunk so low.

4. might as well strap an rpg to a dji drone

5. Getting ripped off big time

6. Seems a bit pricey for something that will get shot down before it makes it 1 mile.

7. Maybe Donnie dumbfucks negotiation “skills” rubbed off on Putin.

8. Thats less than my house costs, Ill take one!

9. But it has to be paid in Chinese Yuan and shitty porn.

10. But Iran says they didn’t sell them to Russia /s

11. People don’t get that those contracts also involve setting up local manufacturing, and not cost of actual drones…

12. More expensive than I thought. Interesting to see Iran go full capitalist mode with a 400-600% markup to their ally.

13. How to get scammed quick

14. Damn! Did the Russians buy those on a Black Friday sale?

15. If true, hilarious. Iran must be making bank with this.

16. Well, I am glad that at least Iranians are happy with this situation. /s

17. Russia gona bankrupt itself for this war

18. Are these the ones powered by the Irish two-stroke lawnmower engines?

19. Man forbes is getting worse and worse with clickbaits. The 375k figure is price for one announced by the Iranian leadership but according to the hacker group, the bulk prices are

    And this transfer includes tech transfer such as the software for the localized production capability. This ends up with a bill of 200k per unit. And after local production starts, the prod cost drops down to $48,800.

20. Do you get refunds on the ones that don’t work?

21. Enough money to live comfortably for the next 5 years and these motherfuckers are out here spending that on a singular military drone.

    This world is a straight up joke.

22. Putin is the richest man in the world. It’s an insignificant amount of money to him

23. So Boss, what do I have to do to get you into one of these fine vehicles? Let me take an offer to my manager!
