Iranian Karrar ucavs armed with AD-08 sams in the the a2a role

You can see the karras have new launchers that are mounted on turntables

heres the original launcher design

Each transporter mounts 3 ucavs

Looks to be around 18 ucavs on 6 transporters in total.

And what type of aircraft want they engage with such a small SAM?

Probably UCAV like Predator/Wingloong I/II or TB-2.

Essentially any within range. Such drone is basically an aerial mine, that patrol the assigned sector. The opponents would be coming toward it, trying to penetrate the protected airspace, not the drone chasing them.

According the the data, the Majid (AD-08) SAM is capable of 15 km range. With air launch, I suppose the range would be about 20-25 km.
