Iran Used Drones as Airborne Sensors to Target US F-15E, NYT Reports
🛰️ TEHRAN — Iran's air defenses were destroyed; so Iran built new ones out of cheap drones. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: With conventional radar networks degraded by US-Israeli strikes, IRGC adapted: drones track aircraft position, speed, heading — then relay targeting data to dispersed missile teams. No expensive radar required. This distributed sensor net is harder to suppress and nearly impossible to pre-empt. Every US strike mission over Iran now faces an invisible, expendable targeting grid.
