Hawzah News Agency- The United States has introduced a budget-friendly combat drone that directly competes with Iran’s Shahed-136, aiming to bolster accessible airpower in contested regions. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth showcased the Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) during a Pentagon event on Wednesday, highlighting its potential to transform distributed operations. This development addresses the rising demand for expendable unmanned systems, as reported by the Associated Press.
Experts say the global success of Iran’s Shahed-series loitering munitions has pushed the US toward developing similar disposable drones.
President Donald Trump previously stated that he had instructed American companies to take inspiration from Iranian drone designs.
