(PHOTO) WHAT IS THE DANGEROUS “SHAHID TACTIC” THE CELESTIAL KALASHNIKOV SPREADS FEAR FROM BAHRAIN TO CYPRUS After Losing Hundreds of Launchers, Iran Prepares a Dramatic Tactic Change Iran is decreasing ballistic missile launches and increasing its reliance on inexpensive “shahid” drones following Israeli-American strikes on its launch sites and weapon depots. This shift in tactics is driven by the destruction of Iran’s missile capabilities, forcing a reliance on more easily concealed and deployable drones. The article also highlights concerns about the excessive cost of Western military aircraft using expensive missiles to intercept low-cost Iranian drones.

• Iran is reducing ballistic missile launches and increasing the use of cheaper “shahid” drones.
• Israeli-American strikes have destroyed approximately 300 Iranian missile launchers and storage sites, severely impacting Iran’s missile capabilities.
• Analysts suggest Iran may be conserving ammunition, while others believe the reduction is due to a severe lack of launch platforms.
• British fighter jets are using expensive missiles (costing up to £2 million) to shoot down Iranian drones (costing around £26,000), which military analysts deem a waste of resources.
• Experts suggest using cannons or machine guns, as seen in Ukraine, would be a more cost-effective method for intercepting drones.
• Western countries and Gulf nations are conserving expensive missile defense systems like Thaad and Patriot for ballistic missile threats.
• Britain is sending Ukrainian experts to the Middle East to help partners intercept Iranian drones.
