Iran’s Shahed Drone DESTROYS $20M U.S Radar At Kuwait Air Base in New Satellite Visuals

Iran has released footage it claims shows a Shahed-series drone striking a U.S. radar installation in Kuwait, highlighting the growing role of low-cost drones in mode conflict. Iranian media says the target was a radar asset valued at roughly $20 million and that the drone successfully penetrated defenses before delivering a direct hit. The video appears to show an explosion followed by heavy smoke rising from the site. If verified, the incident could underscore the vulnerability of expensive military systems to relatively inexpensive unmanned platforms and intensify debate over air defense challenges across the Gulf region.
