YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Shahed 136 drone might be small, but it’s wreaking havoc on modern battlefields. At just 11 feet long with an 8-foot wingspan, it can carry a 40 kg warhead and strike targets up to 1,800 km away with deadly precision.
It’s cheap to make around $20,000 per drone, yet taking one down can cost $400,000 to $4 million, making defense against it extremely expensive. While the engine is loud and not stealthy, these drones’ sheer numbers, range, and precision make them a formidable threat.
