Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, said that the United States has built a drone similar to the Shahed 136 and named it “Lucas,” and has incorporated it into its combat organization.

The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force said that various types of Shahed-class drones are available to this force, some of which are used for combat missions and others for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Mousavi added that drone forces have played a role in monitoring areas, creating information awareness, and providing images from the battlefield scenes, and that overseas missions have also helped increase the technical and operational experience of these forces.
