    https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...f-lucas-one-way-attack-drone-in-iran-strikes/

    U.S. Central Command officials have confirmed that airstrikes launched on Iran on Saturday involved the first combat use of the U.S. military's new autonomous kamikaze drone.
    The Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, or LUCAS drone, was launched as part of Operation Epic Fury, which targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and military airfields, CENTCOM officials announced.

    ...

    The LUCAS platform is a one-way attack drone reverse-engineered after the Iranian Shahed-136.

    Built by the Arizona-based SpektreWorks, the drone, which can be launched via catapults, rocket-assisted takeoff and mobile ground systems, is a spinoff of the company's FLM 136 target model, one designed for counter-drone training while simulating Iran's Shahed variant.

    The FLM 136 model carries a range capability of around 500 miles, with a maximum payload of 40 pounds, or "roughly twice the explosive yield of a hellfire missile," according to Alex Hollings, host of Sandboxx News' FirePower.

    With a maximum takeoff weight of 180 pounds, the FLM 136 is significantly lighter than the Iranian Shahed. The platforms are also immensely more cost-effective -- and scalable -- compared to the more advanced munitions in the U.S. arsenal, carrying a price tag of around $35,000 per unit.

    A LUCAS drone was successfully launched from a ship for the first time in December, with personnel aboard the Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Santa Barbara carrying out an exercise in the Arabian Gulf, the Defense Department previously announced.

    Those troops make up the newly formed Task Force Scorpion Strike squadron, a first-of-its-kind one-way-attack drone squadron led by U.S. Special Operations Command-Central personnel.


    ...

    "To simulate the modern battlefield, senior officers must overcome the bureaucracy's instinctive risk-aversion on everything from budgeting to weaponizing and training," Hegseth wrote in the July memo. "Next year I expect to see this capability integrated into all relevant combat training, including force-on-force drone wars."

    The president sex trafficked wife opening the UN special session on children and education in conflict zones the day after we bombed a school in Iran. Unreal.

    Were living in a episode of black mirror. Trump was introduced to her by Epstein himself. What a utter joke

    LOL, the Iranian military is as dumb as the American liberal! Their coping strategy simply has no evidence to support it. And soon the Iranian military will be eviscerated. Play time is over boys!


    GOOD DAY

    it is about eliminating’threats’ posed by Iran. They are setting up grounds to declare victory and walk away when ever they want. And threats are whatever they say . There is no regime change, there is no principle framework.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/02/rubio-says-congress-is-in-the-loop-on-iran-attacks-00807876
    “The nation’s top diplomat argued the administration has “complied with the law 100 percent” and shrugged off the threat of a war powers vote in the coming days. He also said the military campaign is focused on eliminating threats posed by Iranian missiles, not toppling the regime in Tehran.”

    Trump has asked the Iranians for a ceasefire three separate times and has been rejected. The amount of dead soliders are piling up. Gas prices are exploding and energy prices are up 50%. Dubai is on fire. Us bases are being attacked. No regime change thus the Iranians will still live under oppressive rule.

    It's mind blowing just how much of a utter disaster this conflict is shaping up to be. You MAGA are an absolute disgrace

    The USA is going to win decisively and quickly to suppress the short term disturbance. The long term gains will be felt for the Iranian and US people for decades to come. I'll take that trade.

    Leadership requires pushing through temporary turbulence to achieve long term goals.


    GOOD DAY

    Are you sincerely braindead? Trump is openly claiming he doesn't want regime change no more and he's okay with the status quo. There will be no pro western Iranian government. Trump assumed the government would capitulate after we killed Khamenei and it's completely back fired.

    The worst case scenario is playing out. We get a more deranged anti west government in Iran while US credibility is destroyed for no reason. The pro western Gulf countries are on fire. They won't ever trust us again long term. What an absolute disaster.

    You MAGA need to get your head out of your ass.

    I love watching the liberals melt down -- that's how you know the US foreign policy is working beautifully.

    The Iranian regime just changed, amigo. The Ayatollah just took a dirt nap. He succeeded for a very long time in taking his once proud country back to the stone age and ruining the lives of women... and sponsoring terror abroad... and working on a nuclear weapon. The world will be safer and more free thanks to the actions of the USA. Sorry that upsets you!
