    For the first time in history, CENTCOMrCOs Task Force Scorpion Strike used one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. Low-cost. Expendable. Modeled after IranrCOs own Shahed drones.
    Now theyrCOre being used against them.
    HererCOs what actually happened:
    Step 1: Launch in waves.
    Dozens of low-cost drones go up at once. Not million-dollar assets.
    Tools built to overwhelm.
    Step 2: Force the choice.
    IranrCOs air defense operators have seconds to decide. Shoot the drone?
    The cruise missile? The incoming aircraft? They cannot hit everything.
    Step 3: Drain the system.
    Every interceptor fired costs serious money and burns limited inventory.
    When you force a defense network to engage target after target after
    target, cracks form.
    Step 4: Exploit the gap.
    You donrCOt need every drone to get through. You just need enough chaos to create openings. ThatrCOs when higher-value strikes land clean.
    This is saturation warfare.
    Quantity becomes pressure. Pressure becomes failure.
    CENTCOM confirmed these drones were used. Cheap, one-way attack systems modeled after IranrCOs own designs are now delivering American-made consequences.
    Modern air defense systems are strong. They are not built for relentless swarms from multiple directions at once.

    And now rCa. we need to find a way to defend against a similar attack - overwhelming force.
    This makes me wonder if the multiple drone sightings we saw a while back
    was part of the development of this kind of attack.

    Iran hasnrCOt been able to shoot anything we send down!
    The cheap Russian defense radar is badly failing!

    Make them turn everything on, and then pick it all apart. Hey China, how
    many did your radars find this time? Think before you attack Taiwan

    Brian Bashaw
    Any different than WW2? Seems one way attack drones bombed London.

    Morgan Jones
    One way attack drone = cruise missile.

    John Hayes
    Temu drones!

    These were called SKAD's in the late 70's and early 80's. They gave way
    to the Tomahawk and Boeing ALCM in the belief that for a few dollars
    more we could send an armed decoy. We also had the Quail missile for the
    same mission.

    My Advice:
    If this is Actual, Informed Attack Strategy Directive(s), you have no
    business posting it here, as these insights may ultimately endanger our TroopsrCa.
    Remove it, now.

    Many, many, years ago they had TALD.
    Tactical, Air Launced Decoys.
    They were gliders you pre programed.
    They were designed to overwhelm (saturate) Air defense radar.
    They could be fitted with jamming etc.

    No fiber optic lines needed?

    When I saw this video,it made me think military. And these are Chinese
    drones. I hope its AI. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1578933883222735
