"Iran's Shahed-136 Drones: Redefining Global Warfare with Attacks on Israel"

Iran used Shahed-136 drones in its first direct attack on Israel, deploying 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles. The majority of the incoming munitions were intercepted by Israel's missile defense system, with support from U.S. and British fighter jets and military assets. The 11-foot long, 440-pound drones carry over 100 pounds of explosives and use a satellite guidance system, making them cost-effective for Iran. Russia plans to manufacture 6,000 drone units based on the Iranian Shahed-136 by 2025, reflecting continued defense collaboration between Russia and Iran.
