This is Shahed drone but not the same ‘world famous’ Delta wing Shahed. This is Shahed-101, a loitering munition drone that attacked the fuel storage site in Erbil. Shahed-101 struck a Castrol linked warehouse at Sardar Group facility. How is ‘101’ different from ‘136’? Shahed-101, a 26 KG drone... show more

Presumably, the United States used “Shahed-like” (Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial System) Loitering Munition to strike targets in Venezuela on January 3 during Operation “Absolute Resolve.” In footage published by netizens, a distinctive engine sound can be heard before impact, similar to the noise produced by Shahed-136 or Geran-2 drones. If this is the case, then Venezuela has seen the first combat use of a new type of American loitering munition that has only recently entered service with the U.S. military.

The Gulf Air Forces are tearing through Iranian Shahed-136 drones by the dozens. But what if these “dumb” one-way drones could fight back? That’s exactly what Russia is testing in Ukraine. Some Shahed-136s, or Geran-2s, are now armed with air-to-air missiles to defend against Ukrainian fighters and helicopters! Yup, these drones are hunting the hunters! If it works, counter-drone warfare would get a lot more complicated. 1/4

Interceptor STING downs another jet-powered Shahed 🔥 The “Rubin” crew of the 1020th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment has taken down their second jet-powered target in a week. And even with Hornet Vision Ctrl remote control. The enlarged warhead can carry up to 50 kg of explosives, with a range of 1,000 to 2,500 km. Imagine how much damage it could have caused if not for Ukrainian operators.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. So when CENTCOM’s Adm. Brad Cooper calls the new U.S. LUCAS drone “indispensable,” he is paying Iran and its cheap Shahed-136 a massive compliment. It is also a wild shift in perspective: the world’s most advanced air force, long obsessed with multi-million-dollar exquisites, embracing a $50,000 low-tech weapon. Incredible! To understand how a “lawnmower with wings” changed the game, we have to look back 40 years to a forgotten German project. 1/6

🚨🇮🇷 Footage shows Iranian Shahed-136 drone in the air and heading toward unknown target Where this drone is headed is the open question, with Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti reportedly showing a major fire on NASA satellite data tonight and sirens having sounded from Saudi Arabia to Qatar in the past 24 hours. The Shaheds are Iran's weapon of the moment for a reason: cheap, slow, and launched in volume, they saturate defenses that swallow ballistic missiles cleanly, and they keep finding the soft targets, warehouses, depots, fuel storage, that the interceptors leave exposed.

Wake the 🦆 up — this war is two-way traffic, and this 🇷🇺 attack was inevitable. What frightens me is that this was not a Shahed with a 50 kg warhead. I have travelled the Orlivka–Odesa road more than 200 times, and over the past two years I have been horrified by the complacency that developed this bottleneck simply because it was convenient. Somebody needs their arse kicked! Without stating the obvious or giving anything useful away, I can see exactly how this is likely to escalate as Russia continues to adapt, learn from, and copy Ukrainian tactics. Complacency kills. Convenience kills. Bottlenecks kill. Please stop supporting Russian destruction and start supporting Ukraine.

$JUST IN: Iran gave Russia its Shahed drones. Russia improved them in Ukraine. Now Western intelligence says Russia is shipping the upgraded versions back to Iran. And the country that learned how to kill those drones on the battlefield just sent 228 experts to the Gulf to teach five countries how to do the same thing. The full circle is extraordinary. Iran supplied thousands of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to Russia starting in 2022 for use against Ukraine. Russia rebranded them Geran-2 and, over three years of combat, upgraded the navigation systems, added anti-jamming capabilities, improved the engines, and refined the payload delivery. The Financial Times and AP reported on March 26 citing Western intelligence that Russia is now in the final stages of shipping those upgraded Geran-2 drones back to Iran’s IRGC, along with medicine and food supplies. Kremlin spokesman Peskov called the reports “lies” and “fake news dumps.” Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on March 26 for an unannounced visit, met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed a defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and drone expertise, and departed Jeddah on March 28. Ukraine has deployed 201 to 228 military drone specialists to five Gulf and Middle Eastern countries: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Another 34 are ready per Zelensky’s statement on March 17. These specialists are not there as a symbolic gesture. They bring the single most effective counter to Shahed drones that exists anywhere on earth. Ukraine developed FPV interceptor drones that account for roughly 70 percent of all Shahed and Geran-2 shootdowns in Ukraine per Forces News and Atlantic Council reporting. The method: radar and acoustic sensors detect the incoming drone at 20 to 50 kilometres. A cheap, fast quadcopter or fixed-wing interceptor launches from a mobile platform. An operator pilots it at high speed toward the target. It destroys the Shahed through kamikaze collision or a small explosive payload on impact. Cost per intercept: a fraction of what a surface-to-air missile costs. Militarnyi reported on March 22 that Ukrainian teams have already confirmed multiple Shahed shootdowns in the Middle East. The arms race running through this war is now a closed loop. Iran builds the drone. Russia tests it, improves it, and allegedly sends the improved version back. Ukraine learns to kill it through three years of battlefield iteration. Ukraine exports that knowledge to the Gulf states Iran is attacking. The Gulf states pay Ukraine in money, technology, and diplomatic support. Russia denies everything while the drones fly in both directions. This is not a bilateral conflict. It is a global drone ecosystem where every improvement by one side is studied, countered, and re-exported by the other. The Shahed that hits a refinery in Bahrain tonight may carry Russian-upgraded navigation. The interceptor that destroys it may be piloted by a Ukrainian operator trained in Zaporizhzhia. The defense deal that funded the deployment was signed in Jeddah while the war it was designed to address raged 1,500 kilometres to the northeast. SpaceX’s Starlink provides the communications backbone for these teams in contested environments where terrestrial networks are degraded by the same war. The same helium shortage threatening semiconductor fabs and quantum computers is threatening the rocket launches that put Starlink satellites in orbit. The same strait carrying the oil carries the data cables that the drones are trying to protect. Every domain connects through the same 39 kilometres of water. Full analysis -$

Insane footage coming from Ukraine today. First clip you can find shows a Russian Shahed drone striking the center of Lviv. Then, one of a Russian long-range one-way attack drone is gunned down with a firearm by a Ukrainian serviceman flying aboard a Yak-52 trainer aircraft. The first scene shows the most modern way of waging war: with one-way attack drones. The other shows World War I-style tactics being used to counter them in the air. Crazy.

An absolute world record — a pilot took down a Shahed with interceptor STING at a distance of 500 km Using Hornet Vision Ctrl technology, Roman “Hulk” from the BULAVA unit downed two Shaheds located 500 km away ❗️ This is the first time in the world someone has flown that far remotely — and actually scored intercepts. Not one, but two Shaheds ❤️‍🔥 So when we say: more to come — we mean it. More to come 🐝

This video is insane 😎 On Dec 31, 2025, we delivered two fixed-wing UAVs ($5,077) to our hero, Chemist. One has already destroyed a Shahed heading to kill Ukrainians (~$20,000–50,000). We posted it earlier. The other (in this video) took down a ZALA reconnaissance drone (~$70,000) 🔥 So ~$5K turned into $100K+ of enemy losses. This is exactly how your support works. Thank you 🤩

🇷🇺 Russian occupiers report that Ukraine has sharply increased the use of the medium-range loitering munition “Trust” (as they call it). 🔻 There is no official information or confirmation about this system from Ukrainian sources, and its real designation remains unknown. According to the occupiers, it is mainly used to destroy transport vehicles on logistical routes. 🔻 The Trust is an aircraft-type drone with a very simple design, optimized for mass production. It has a tubular fiberglass body, an internal combustion engine, and carries a 12 kg warhead, which can be either high-explosive fragmentation or thermobaric. This drone appears to be another cost-effective and efficient Ukrainian development focused on deep strikes against Russian logistics. Its simplicity and mass-production potential make it particularly dangerous for Russian supply lines in the rear. Video is generated by grok AI

🚨🇮🇷 Pentagon in panic: Iran unleashes its top kamikaze drone Iran just used its cutting-edge Hadid-110 kamikaze drones in real combat for the first time, packing blistering speeds up to 510 km/h and ultra-low radar signatures that slip past Western defenses. 🔸 The Hadid-110 surges at 510 km/h while slashing its radar cross-section below 0.02 square meters through advanced airframe designs and radar-absorbing materials 🔸 These drones evade detection by F-15E fighters' APG-82(V)1 radars and E-3C sentry planes at far shorter ranges compared to older Shahed-136 models 🔸 With over 350 km of operational range carrying a 30 kg warhead, they precisely target critical infrastructure along the Persian Gulf's western shores 🔸 Opting for lighter warheads unlocks even greater strike distances, pushing threats deeper into adversary territories without added fuel Do you think these drones could help Iran increase the damage it’s inflicting on the Coalition of Epstein?

Russia installed anti-drone cages around the VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary. Ukraine sent a Flamingo. The cages didn't help. The FP-5 Flamingo is a Ukrainian-built cruise missile with a 3,000 km range and a 1,150 kg warhead - developed by Ukrainian firm Fire Point. Cost per unit: around $500,000, roughly one quarter of a US Tomahawk. VNIIR-Progress, now ablaze, produces the Kometa navigation modules used to guide Shaheds, Kalibr missiles, Iskander-M and precision glide bombs - the same weapons Russia uses to strike Ukrainian cities. The plant sits 1,000 km from Ukraine's border. The Flamingo reached it anyway.

Unique footage has emerged showing remote control of interceptor drones. The 190th Training Center of the SBS reportedly used a drone-interceptor to shoot down a Shahed UAV remotely, with the pilot located at a significant distance from the launch site. The system used was LITAVR, developed by FDrones. According to the company, an operator can control the interceptor from hundreds of kilometers away from the launch point. The F7 LITAVR is already a well-known and highly effective system. As a reminder, here are the technical details (this is all open-source information): Development of the system began in autumn 2024. It was successfully tested and officially adopted in summer 2025. Serial production and deliveries to the military started in autumn 2025. Maximum speed: 350 km/h Flight time: up to 15 minutes Equipped with two cameras: daytime and thermal imaging The officially stated tactical range is 36 km, though in practice it can reach up to 60 km and operate at altitudes of up to 9.5 km. The warhead (separately codified) weighs 500 g. Detonation can occur via kinetic impact, self-destruction upon contact with the target, or manual activation by the operator. The system uses inertial guidance without GPS and features automatic terminal guidance (“last mile” / target lock system). At present, it reportedly destroys hundreds of targets per week, including Shaheds, Gerberas, Molniyas, Orlans, Lancets, and others. What is fundamentally new? Until now, mobile air defense fire groups and frontline crews using interceptor drones required a qualified pilot on-site. It has now been successfully demonstrated that a different tactic is possible: pilots can operate from protected, remote locations. The only requirement is internet access at both the control center and the launch site. Ukraine’s defense sector continues to develop innovative solutions. 📹 Oleksii Kopytko/Facebook
