The HESA Shahed 136 (Persian: شاهد ۱۳۶, lit.
The munition is designed to attack ground targets from a distance. The drone is typically fired in multiples from a launch rack. The first public footage of the drone was released in December 2021. Russia has made much use of the Shahed 136/Geran-2 in the Russo-Ukrainian war, especially in strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, and mass-produces its own version.
In response to the effectiveness of the drones, Ukraine developed its own Shahed-136 analogs in 2025 for long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Batyar was announced by DeepStrikeTech in May 2025 and the American-European Artemis ALM-20 was announced in October 2025. Drones with a similar shape to the ALM-20 were used in strikes in the Moscow and Rostov-on-Don regions, while a drone similar to the Batyar was seen in a strike on the Ust-Luga oil export terminal.
In December 2025, the U.S. military announced it had developed the LUCAS drone, a clone of the Shahed 136 developed from reverse engineering the Iranian-designed HESA Shahed 136, and deployed a squadron in the Middle East. LUCAS's first officially confirmed use was in February 2026, against the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces during the 2026 Iran war.
