A single U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel drone crash in Iran in 2011 triggered one of the most ambitious reverse-engineering programs in modern warfare. Using captured American tech, Tehran secretly built a fleet of stealth UAVs, including the deadly Shaheed-191 and 181—mini B-2–style drones with long-range strike and surveillance capabilities. These aircraft can launch from pickup trucks, evade radar, and strike targets up to 500 km away. While rarely seen in combat, analysts warn Iran may be saving them for a major regional showdown.
