According to Khabaronline, an Iranian news agency, the U.S. military has deployed its first attack-drone squadron in West Asia using unmanned aerial vehicles whose design and technology were directly derived from Iranian systems.
Reports indicate that the squadron operates under a special task force established several months ago by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and designated Task Force “Scorpion Attack.”
This unit utilizes unmanned systems referred to as the Low-Cost Uncrewed Attack System (LUCAS) drones.
A U.S. military official stated that the LUCAS drones were developed through reverse engineering of Iran’s Shahed UAVs.
In a press release, CENTCOM announced that the deployed LUCAS drones have long operational range and are designed for autonomous missions. They can be launched by multiple methods, including catapult systems, rocket-assisted takeoff, and mobile ground- or vehicle-based pl atforms.
