We verified and examined more than two dozen drone strikes captured on video and found that Shahed drones have hit a wide range of strategic targets, including U.S. military bases, airports and energy infrastructure.

A Shahid drone can be built for just $20,000. In the video from the Dubai beach, the Emirati F16 fires a missile costing more than $400,000.

Iran is using cheap drones like the Shahid 136. Each interception costs far more than the attack itself.

Well, it seems like this time they're relying more on these short range shorter range one-way attack drones, the Shahid drones uh that they're firing at US positions in the Gulf States and sometimes the targets in the Gulf States as well too.

It costs just $20,000, but taking it down can cost anywhere from $400,000 to $4 million. That's like trying to stop a bicycle with a Lamborghini.
