An important early look at three relatively new models of one-way-attack (OWA) UAV, made in the UAE, that have been used to strike targets in Iran and Sudan. My colleague @Easybakeovensz describes some of the key features, including the distinctive Modamer warhead in two models. – at Bangor, Wales

Glad to get this short analysis of three UAE models of one-way attack (OWA) UAVs found in Iran and Sudan out.
Two of the models have been used by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
One model was likely used in attacks on Iran at least as early as March 20.

During the #VietnamWar half a dozen project chased the concept of developing anti-personnel rounds for the M79 40mm grenade launcher. Everything from .22LR 'hornet' shells to flechettes!

The Modamer warhead has been documented using the Serbian UT M18 fuze, which is commonly installed in the “120mm TB” thermobaric air-delivered bomb.
The 120mm TB and the UT M18 are known to have been purchased by the UAE armed forces, and found in Sudan.

The OSMP has also uploaded entries of other UAVs believed to be UAE-produced, and supplied to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, as TMID–0013 and TMID-0014. The TMID-0014 and -0015 use the Modamer warhead, manufactured by Halcon, an Emirati company.

The latest book from @headstampbooks is now available for pre-order. Bas Martens has done an excellent job in writing ‘The Real Schmeissers: From the M.P. 18.I to the M.P. 41’, and I am sure it will stand as the definitive work on the topic for some time.
