The US has successfully reverse-engineered Iran's Shahed "kamikaze" drone, with plans now underway to mass-produce its own version for combat.

This new system, named LUCAS, has been meticulously refined and is now deemed ready for large-scale production. Designed as a cost-effective alternative, each LUCAS unit is estimated to cost between $25,000 and $50,000, a stark contrast to significantly more expensive traditional weapon systems.

This strategic move by US officials comes in response to the increasing pressure to effectively counter adversaries utilizing inexpensive drone warfare. It also underscores a broader evolution in modern warfare, shifting focus towards scalable, economically viable drone deployment as opposed to reliance on high-cost weaponry.
