The United States is preparing to mass-produce a low-cost “kamikaze” drone system called LUCAS, reportedly inspired by Iran’s Shahed design. Priced around $25K–$50K, it’s built for large-scale deployment in modern warfare
The move reflects a shift toward cheaper, scalable weapons where drone swarms can overwhelm expensive defense systems. It highlights how future conflicts may rely more on quantity and adaptability than high-cost tech
