Iran unleashes Shahed drones aimed at targets across Middle East

Shooting down $40k drones with $4mil interceptors is a problem. Hoping at some point this wake up call is heard.

One recent update is that Apache Attack helicopters are being refitted to hunt/kill these types of drones, but the newest Iranian models are flying 300+ mph which is faster than a single rotor helicopter can fly (the leading blade of a helicopter starts to break the sound barrier).

infecto•1h ago
Surprising there are not more solutions here. We have seen these style of drones for a number of years. I guess it’s a hard problem in general but I also wonder if part of it is simply the historically entrenched defense industry.
bigyabai•1h ago
Part of it has to be owed to how tactically potent drone swarms are, as a means of asymmetric conflict. Even the best layered defensed are limited by magazine depth, whereas attack drones can be sent in theoretically unlimited waves.

In practice, this was seemingly validated by the 2002 Millennium Challenge controversy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002#Exer...

The solutions already exist and have been proven on the battlefield. Peacetime military forces are just slow to adapt, as there are no real incentives to adapt quickly.

Drones such as the Shahed are little more than cheap mediocre cruise missiles. Because they are cheap, the enemy can launch them in large numbers. You counter them by detecting them early and then using plenty of cheap mediocre anti-aircraft weapons. Mostly guns and interceptor drones (=cheap mediocre anti-aircraft missiles).

Microwave/directed energy fixes this.

The way things are going, no, let's hope the US never wakes up for this problem.
Bender•1h ago
Israel, United States, United Kingdom, China and Russia have HEL high-energy lasers that can shoot down fast drones. Several other countries are working on HEL development. The numbers of operational HEL systems are still very small but growing. I believe that Israel have the most of them in operation today developed primarily by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. 10kw to 50kw on trucks, 100kw ground based. Range: 7-10km, shorter in fog or rain. Dwell time: 4 to 5 seconds. Cost per shot: $2–$3.50.

Targets: UAVs/drones (including swarms), short-range rockets (Qassam-style), mortars, artillery shells, cruise missiles, and potentially other low/slow-flying threats. It excels against cheap, high-volume threats where kinetic interceptors are uneconomical.

The US is working on a megawatt version that will be mounted on ships to take down full sized aircraft, hyper-sonic weapons and ballistic missiles. Timeline: 2030. Even at 30-50 kW (e.g., the earlier AN/SEQ-3 LaWS on USS Ponce), lasers can target helicopters or manned aircraft to cause crashes by frying sensors or engines. Scaling to hundreds of kW extends range and lethality against faster, larger aircraft.

0_____0•19m ago
Cost per shot including the development and unit costs amortized over the service life of the weapons system? Or is that just the cost of the energy that got pumped into the laser?
Bender•15m ago
That is the cost per shot is just the energy utilized by the C2 targeting and laser system. I have no idea what the overall cost of the system is. I have not yet found it published. I would wager the overall system is rather expensive but worth it to the point of using expensive ballistics to neutralize a 40k drone which is at risk of being overwhelmed.

I also can't find the average time on target stats, just dwell time.

I've heard analysis that a significant proportion of middle east water and food supply - in the form of desalination plants, and cargo through the Strait of Hormuz - is within reach of Iran's capabilities. The logic is that you use this to collapse middle eastern economies which blocks the flow of the investment from Arab states into AI infra that is propping up the US economy.
OgsyedIE•48m ago
Iran is unlikely to target food and water without being further backed into a corner, since the escalation would mean reciprocal strikes (possibly independently by the KSA air force) on the Kharg and Bandar Abbas export terminals, which have so far avoided being targeted.
oraphalous•45m ago
What corner is there left to be backed into when the the US is trying to assassinate you?
OutOfHere•37m ago
For what it's worth, Iran can stop the war today by agreeing to:

(1) Stop all nuclear work, open the door to inspectors, and demolish and destroy all traces of it.

(2) Become a secular democracy, not the oppressive theocracy it is now.

(3) Stop funding terror, especially outside Iran.

(4) Stop threatening Israel.

(5) Stop exerting control in the Strait of Hormuz.

(6) Stop selling oil to sanctioned or hostile countries.

(7) Stop selling weapons to sanctioned countries, e.g. Russia.

Until these reasonable conditions are met, the war will go on.

They can't trust Trump.

No one can.

OutOfHere•6m ago
Trump wants the things I listed -- he has expressed them time and again for anyone remotely willing to listen.

If one is trying to negotiate while maintaining a theocracy, then Trump won't listen, but ending the theocracy is one of the listed points, so it's logically consistent.

OgsyedIE•35m ago
Oh, certainly the surviving leadership are backed into corners, but they are individual people.

The nation-state is not backed into a corner. For one thing, the west has refrained from using CBRN weapons on urban centres.
