Iran war: 10 frequently used words and their meanings
Shahed
Shahed drones are Iran’s low-cost loitering munitions, often described as “kamikaze drones” or unmanned aerial vehicles that carry an explosive payload while relying on relatively simple, low-tech components. Iran has used them since the beginning of the war to target Israel and Gulf countries. These drones typically fly at low altitudes and are often launched in large swarms to overwhelm air defences, forcing costly interception efforts.
