Shahed-136 drone is quietly rewriting the rules of modern warfare. Its low cost, long range, and stealthy approach have turned it into a game-changer on the battlefield—one that forces military strategists, especially in the US, to rethink established defense tactics. Known as a low-cost “suicide drone,” it has been used extensively by Russia in Ukraine under the name Geran-2, exposing vulnerabilities in traditional defense systems.
