4570679103!SHAHED 136 owa drone (high- fidelity)

This $73,987.78 contract with the U.S. Department of Defense is for a high-fidelity model of the Iranian-designed Shahed 136, a one-way attack (kamikaze) drone used extensively by Russia in Ukraine. The acquisition aligns with the U.S. Air Force's initiative to procure exact replicas of the Shahed 136 to test and develop counter-drone defenses against the system. Given the unit cost of the Shahed 136 is estimated between $20,000 and $50,000, this contract likely covers the purchase of one to three high-fidelity training or testing targets.
