Bloomberg reported today: The U.S. Department of Defense's first "Kamikaze" drone unit, the Scorpion Task Force, has officially become combat-ready in the Middle East. If Trump orders an attack on Iran, this unit can act at any time. The unit is equipped with low-cost "LUCAS" drones, each costing about $35,000, specifically designed for one-way attacks on soft targets such as missile positions.
Comments: The U.S. military's first "Scorpion" suicide drone unit has been formed, directly targeting Iran. This is a typical example of low-cost asymmetric warfare. The LUCAS drone, which costs only $35,000, is specifically used to consume Iran's air defense and strike missile positions. It can reduce U.S. casualties and high-end ammunition consumption while quickly carrying out short-term strikes, perfectly matching Trump's "quick strike and quick withdrawal" strategy against Iran. The formation of this unit means that the threshold for the U.S. to take military action against Iran has significantly decreased, allowing continuous harassment without mobilizing large-scale troops, and the Middle East military confrontation has entered a more flexible and unpredictable phase of drone attrition warfare.
