The United States has deployed its Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones in the Middle East, inspired by Iran's Shahed-136 technology, following the US Air Force's goal to replicate the Iranian kamikaze drone. This deployment coincides with rising tensions involving Iran and reports of significant civilian casualties during protests, as the Pentagon enhances its military presence in the region. Analysts indicate that LUCAS drones may have been utilized in operations against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
