The Shahed 136, an Iranian loitering munition colloquially known as a "suicide drone," has garnered significant attention for its devastating capabilities. Developed by Shahed Aviation Industries and produced by HESA, this drone earned its name from the Persian word "Shahed," meaning "witness." While officially in service with Iran since 2021, its impact was felt far beyond Iranian borders.
