Lets calculate a potential Shahed Bagheri Drone-Carrier "battle group" anti-air firepower:
4 x S. Soleymani class catamarans:
- 16 x 120km range Sayyad-3F per ship = 64 LR air-/ballistic-missile defense interceptors
- 24 x 25km range Navab = 96 SR-SAM
Equipping the group with 4 sector-search AESA radars
Next:
30 fast attack boats equipped with Kowsar-222:
- 4 x 30 ~15km range SHORADS SAM = 120 dispersed, subsonic target rated SAMs
+ 8 Kowsar-222 on the Bagheri-class itself
Next:
Shahed Mahdavi arsenal ship:
- 10 x 20mm low-end CIWS
+ 2 on the Bagheri-class itself
(firepower of ~6 U.S. Phalanx)
➡️ Quite some firepower if you ask me
PS: Video on it is up on the DDD YT-channel

Zulu pointed to an alternative load for the Soleymani class being more likely
