How Iran's Shahed drone threat can be countered | The National

Just read about Iran's Shahed drones - they're a serious long-term threat with over 1,000 already used and hundreds more produced weekly. Military experts say defense requires fighter jets combined with machine guns on rooftops and pickup trucks. Ukraine's tactics are being shared with Gulf partners. These drones are slow but carry heavy warheads up to 2,500km range. Key challenge: they're cheap and simple to make in small factories across Iran. Coordinated air defenses with jets, radars, missiles and guns offer the best protection against drone swarms. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/03/02/how-irans-shahed-drone-threat-can-be-countered/

Hope the shared tactics with Gulf states work. This threat is too close for comfort.

Scary stuff. Cheap drones are a game changer, makes you rethink defense spending.
