00:00If you hear this unmistakable buzzing sound, you should know you are in trouble.
00:09And recent videos from Bahrain and Dubai show a terrifying new reality.
00:14Open source intelligence quickly confirmed what they are.
00:17Iranian Shahed drones.
00:20And Iran is now firing these weapons across the entire region.
00:24Should you be worried?
00:26You see, the danger is not the technology.
00:30It is the price tag.
00:31Iran uses their sheer volume to overwhelm advanced defense shields.
00:37And it is completely unsustainable to fire a million-dollar interceptor at a cheap drone.
00:44And by launching massive waves, Iran can effectively bankrupt a billion-dollar air defense grid.
00:50And the Shahed is the AK-47 of the skies.
00:54It carries a deadly explosive payload, but relies on the low-tech parts.
01:00After supplying thousands of these to Moscow, Iran watched how Russia used them in Ukraine.
01:07And now Tehran is bringing those exact sworn tactics back to the Middle East.
01:12And from Iranian territory, these drones can reach almost anywhere, casting a shadow over the entire region.
01:20Depending on the model, the range goes up to 2,500 kilometers, covering everything from the Mediterranean coast to the
01:28furthest reaches of the Arabian Peninsula.
01:32With Shahed's threatening U.S. military bases, oil refineries, and tourist hubs, it seems no one is safe.
01:40But a blueprint exists to stop them.
01:43A multi-layered anti-drone air defenses, electronic warfare, and new interceptor drones helped Ukraine achieve an over 80%
01:52interception rate.
01:54With President Zelensky saying Russia has launched close to 60,000 Shahed-type attack drones against Ukraine,
02:02one question arises.
02:04Is the Middle East ready to intercept a similar wave?
