After Ukraine, Iran's Shahed-136 drone is spreading terror in the skies of the Middle East
Iran's $50,000 delta-wing 'Shahed-136' drone, which was spotted in the skies over Ukraine, is now spreading terror in the skies over the Gulf region. In the last 48 hours, Tehran has launched hundreds of drone attacks on various locations in the Gulf region, including Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Iran is believed to have adopted this tactic to put pressure on US regional allies and expose them to economic losses.
Video footage from Bahrain shows a delta-wing drone hurtling towards a high-rise building in the dead of night. The drone's engines could be heard clearly, and at one point it hit the building directly, sending burning debris flying off the balcony. A direct hit could have caused significant damage to the apartment.
More than 1,000 drone strikes have been carried out against Iran's Gulf neighbors since the US and Israeli strikes on Saturday morning. The majority of the drones are believed to be Shahed-136 models.The UAE said on Monday afternoon that it had been hit by 689 drone attacks. Of these, 645 were downed. That means about 6 percent, or 44, of the drones, penetrated its airspace defenses.
