Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled a new series of small kamikaze drones, claiming they were deployed in last night's attack against American targets in Kuwait. The IRGC described the drones as 'small but effective' and suited for a range of operational missions. The claims are from a single IRGC source and have not been independently verified.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Thursday that it has developed a new series of small kamikaze drones and that the drones were used in the overnight attack against American targets in Kuwait. The IRGC’s air and space division described the drones as 'small but effective' and suited for a wide range of operational missions. The claim comes hours after the IRGC said it struck a radar installation at a US military base in Kuwait in an overnight attack, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The IRGC has recently made a series of claims about attacks on US assets in the Gulf, including stating it hit 18 American military targets in two waves of strikes earlier this month, and releasing footage of missile launches toward Bahrain and Kuwait. The new drone series, described as 'kamikaze' platforms, suggests the IRGC is expanding its unmanned arsenal as it continues to publicly assert attacks on US assets. The claims remain unilaterally sourced from the IRGC and have not been confirmed by independent sources.
