Iran's Deadly Shahed-136 Kamikaze Drone: 2500KM Range, Wreaks Havoc in Middle East

• Iran's Shahed-136 is a 'Kamikaze' or 'suicide drone' designed for long-range, one-way attacks, exploding on impact with its target.
• It's launched from mobile systems, navigates automatically via GPS, and flies at low altitudes to evade radar detection.
• Technical specifications include a 3.5m length, 2.5m wingspan, 200kg total weight, 30-50kg warhead, 180-185 km/h speed, and 1000-2500 km range.
• Its 'swarm attack' strategy involves launching dozens or hundreds of drones simultaneously to overwhelm enemy air defense systems.
• Considered highly dangerous due to its low cost ($20,000-$30,000), long-range capability, radar evasion, and potential for high damage to critical infrastructure.
