Shahed drones

Shahed drones are Iranian unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) and loitering munitions (exploding kamikaze drones) developed by Shahed Aviation Industries. Shahed drones are manufactured both in Iran and in Russia, with the Russian variant building upon Iranian plans. Both variants were deployed by Russian forces against Ukraine during the Russian invasion.

"Shahed" translates from both Persian and Arabic to "witness".
