Shahin-1 (9ef89ad9-2bda-55b0-a41c-190c49fad9e1)
The Shahin‑1 is Iran’s newest tube‑launched loitering munition, presented during a commissioning ceremony on the destroyer Deylaman. Marketed as a “kamikaze” drone, it autonomously loiters, identifies and locks onto operator‑designated targets before executing a self‑destruct impact. Its canister‑based launch system mirrors earlier Iranian models such as the Meraj‑521 and Sina UAVs, enabling rapid deployment from both land‑based sites and naval vessels. By integrating autonomous target acquisition with a compact, portable launch architecture, the Shahin‑1 expands Iran’s precision‑strike options, offering a low‑cost, expendable platform for engaging time‑critical or high‑value targets in contested environments.
