What are Shahed drones?
Shahed drones are uncrewed aerial vehicles, often called 'kamikaze' drones because they are designed to crash into their targets. Iran developed them, and Russia now uses them extensively in Ukraine. The story mentions Russia is scaling up production of these jet-powered drones, which are faster and harder to intercept than propeller-driven models.
