Low-cost drones are increasingly targeting bases, energy sites, and infrastructure in the Israel–U.S.–Iran conflict. Traditional air defenses are too expensive to counter them at scale. Türkiye’s MKE developed the TOLGA system with an “effective, simple, and low-cost” concept, combining jamming (soft kill) and weapons (hard kill) to neutralize drones cost-effectively.

⚡️ Israel Aerospace Industries just unveiled HYPNOSIS, a new air defense system designed to disrupt and neutralize large-scale drone swarms. Iran, Russia, and North Korea have all invested heavily in mass-producing low-cost, one-way attack drones. Now, there's a system built to defend against them.

🇮🇷 Iran has reinvented attack drones with the Shahed-136, a low-cost kamikaze UAV. Priced at just $20,000, it flies low to evade radars, reaches up to 4,000 km, and carries up to 90 kg of explosives. Proven in combat by Russia and the Houthis, it overwhelms enemy defenses with swarm attacks. Simple to produce, sanctions-proof, and ready to strike against the US and Israel. The Shahed-136 is a game-changing, cost-effective weapon shaping conflicts in the Middle East and beyond.

Iran may attack U.S. forces with $400 cost interceptor drones — like rus-sian «Molniya». Its significantly cheaper than the Shahed drone and has a range of up to 60 km, when the width of the Strait of Hormuz is 40–50 km. While the missiles for Patriot systems — likely to be often used by the U.S. to intercept these threats — cost about $4M. How do you like that cost ratio?😉 In this video, we’ll discuss how 7 Corps experience can help in countering Iran. And about the capability to mass-produce low-cost interceptor drones (with Генерал Черешня 🍒). Watch the video, like and share this post!👍

🪖⚔️🇺🇸 What if Iran launched 1,000 low cost kamikaze drones at the USS Abraham Lincoln? A large swarm of Shahed type drones flying low could attempt to saturate the carrier strike group’s defenses and test reaction time and interception capacity. In response, F 35s operating from the carrier and escort ships equipped with layered air defense systems would engage the drones using a mix of missiles and close in weapons. Even if most of the drones were intercepted, such an attack would likely trigger a significant US military response against the launch infrastructure and command nodes responsible. Really bad idea.

It has come out that Russia has been supplying Iran with targeting intelligence to strike U.S. interests across the globe. • We need to sanction every single drop of Russian oil. • It’s time to provide Ukraine the aid it needs to defend itself from Russian ballistic missiles. In return, we should accept their public offer of low-cost interceptor drones. Iran has been able to kill Americans and terrorize civilian infrastructure in the region using its Shahed-136 suicide drones, which are very easy and cheap to mass-produce in a short time. Ukraine has developed a low-cost solution to this problem (interceptor drones). However, Ukraine does not possess the equipment to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles in any meaningful way—we do. We have no more time for radical partisan politics. It’s time for common-sense solutions.

Nightmare of Turkish and Chinese Drones is here :) 2nd Test of Bhargavastra successfully completed. Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited (SDAL) has developed ‘Bhargavastra’, a new low-cost, indigenous Counter Drone System designed to neutralize drone swarms. Successfully tested on May 13, 2025, the system uses unguided micro rockets (with a 20m lethal radius) and guided micro-missiles as a dual-layer defence, capable of engaging threats up to 2.5 km away and operating in diverse terrains, including high altitudes. It features advanced C4I systems, radar detection up to 10 km, and EO/IR sensors for precise targeting. Modular, scalable, and network-ready, ‘Bhargavastra’ can also integrate soft-kill options like jamming. Considered globally unique in its category, it marks a significant achievement under the “Make in India” initiative and enhances India’s layered Air Defence capabilities.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Low-cost defense is the real challenge in modern warfare. Admiral Mark Montgomery says intercepting missiles remains extremely expensive and complex. When attack drones are cheap, that issue could determine everything. "We are now developing a long-range strike missile that comes at 10% of the cost. The only country that has them right now is Ukraine." Mark Montgomery

$Iran is increasingly relying on drones to strike targets across the Middle East, using unmanned systems that can be produced far more quickly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional missiles, CBS News' Holly Williams reports. One of the main drones being used is the Shahed drone, which costs an estimated $20,000 to $50,000 per unit, compared with missiles that can cost millions of dollars. The widespread use of drones is reshaping modern warfare, a trend already seen on the battlefield in Ukraine and now playing out across the Middle East.$

🔺New: Hezbollah recently released footage of what Israeli security officials described as one of the largest and most coordinated drone assaults against Israel to date. Drop Site’s Sarmad Jawad and Murtaza Hussain break down what the videos reveal about the rapid transformation of Lebanon’s asymmetric resistance. The footage shows Hezbollah deploying a swarm of low-cost fiber-optic FPV drones to strike Israeli military targets including fuel tanks, armored positions, turrets, and communications infrastructure with striking precision and relatively small explosive payloads. Secondary drones then appear to conduct real-time battle damage assessments, confirming hits and documenting successful strikes that Israeli military censorship has in the past kept out of public view. The segment explores how cheap, commercially adaptable drone systems are increasingly able to penetrate or overwhelm expensive conventional Israeli defenses. Murtaza Hussain describes it as the “Temu-ification of war” — a battlefield shift where low-cost technology is eroding the monopoly conventional militaries once held over precision strike capabilities.

As Iranian Shahed drones strike targets across the Middle East, Ukrainians are watching closely — and seeing a familiar threat, CBS News' Aidan Stretch reports from Kyiv. The same drone technology has been used repeatedly in Russia’s war on Ukraine, including attacks in the heart of Kyiv. After years of defending against them, Ukraine has developed some of the world’s most advanced counter-drone tactics, from low-cost interceptors to layered air defense systems. President Volodymyr Zelensky and defense experts say that experience is now critical as more countries confront Iranian-style drone warfare for the first time.

UPDATE: Ukrainian intelligence used naval drone to launch a smaller attack drone, which then took out one of Russia’s S400 defense system. 🇺🇦🇷🇺 The S-400 is one of Russia’s most prized air defense systems, built to shoot down aircraft, drones, and missiles at long range. The cost gap is staggering. A single S-400 launcher and its support systems can cost billions of dollars. The drones used to destroy it likely cost only in thousands. What is genuinely new is the method. Ukraine used a naval drone, built for sea warfare, as a launch platform to carry smaller FPV drones against land targets.
