One of the potential targets could also be the Mafraq Al-Sultan airbase in Jordan. Why are they being used? This may indicate an attempt to strike at critical infrastructure, which the US will either try to remove from the target zone for a while by moving it a short distance. What is this #drone? The Hadid-110 has a cruising speed of about 510 km/h. For comparison, t...
...es. Cheap "Shaheds" overload air defense systems and force the expenditure of expensive interceptor missiles, after which the jet Hadid-110s use the emerging gaps in defense to strike at more valuable targets — headquarters, radar stations, and fuel and lubricant depots.
...he Shahed-136 drones fly at a speed of approximately 180–185 km/h. Such a difference almost triples the time that American air defense systems, including C-RAM and Patriot, have to detect, identify, and intercept a target. The drone's body is made of composite materials, which reduces its reflective surface and makes it less visible to radars. The Hadid-110 poses a danger to the US primarily as an element of a combined attack. Iran actively uses such drones in conjunction with slower dron...
