Shahed-131 Special Edition Drone

Shahed-131 Special Edition Drone

It is a type of Shahed series unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured in Iran, which has played a significant role in the Ukrainian battlefield. Due to its slow, powerful, and relatively low-cost characteristics, it has been accused of intimidating Ukrainian cities far from the front lines, attacking energy grids and grain depots, and being associated with civilian casualties. Commonly referred to as a one-time attack or "kamikaze" aircraft, it carries explosives from the nose, takes off with rocket assistance, and ultimately dives to collide with the target. The design is simple yet clever, combining precision and cost-effectiveness, making it unique among strategic weapons. Its body is made of carbon fiber cloth and honeycomb structure.
