A Pensacola Fishing Charter Hauled a Large Military Drone Out of the Gulf

Real question. Is that a Shahed or made to look similar? Is this the setup for an October surprise? If so, frighteningly brilliant.

Basically, yep. This drone is designed primairly as a target drone; since one of the things the US most wants to be shooting down is Shaheds, the form and capabilites are very similar for training use. (It’s supposedly a more advanced version, anticipating developments that Iran et. al. will likely (or have already) rolled out. Who knows how true that is, though.)

The Russians have already integrated jet engines and some other enhancements into their Shahed clones, Geran.
