In a 1st, US uses one-way attack drones based on Iran's Shahed drones to strike Iran
In a historic first, the US deployed one-way attack drones, which are modelled after Iran's Shahed drones, during coordinated strikes with Israel against Iran under Operation Epic Fury. Called Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS), these suicide drones are priced at around $35,000 (₹31.87 lakh) each. The US also used Tomahawk missiles, F-18 and F-35 fighter jets in the strikes.
