不顾美国和盟国的导弹盾牌,伊朗的无人机炮火压倒中东防御系统,暴露了脆弱性。 Iran's drone barrage overwhelms Middle East defenses, exposing vulnerabilities despite U.S. and allied missile shields.

在伊朗发动大规模无人驾驶飞机和导弹袭击以色列、海湾国家、美国及盟国目标后, 沙赫德无人机成为中东的一大威胁。 Iranian-made Shahed drones, previously used by Russia in Ukraine, have become a major threat in the Middle East after Iran launched a large-scale drone and missile barrage against Israel, Gulf states, and U.S. and allied targets following U.S.-Israel strikes. 这些无人驾驶飞机能够飞行2 000公里,运载40公斤炸药,在袭击沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林、科威特、卡塔尔和塞浦路斯的一个联合王国基地的港口、石油设施、机场和军事基地时,这些无人驾驶飞机压倒了防空系统。 The drones, capable of flying 2,000 km and carrying 40 kg of explosives, overwhelmed air defenses in attacks on ports, oil facilities, airports, and military bases in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and a UK base in Cyprus. 在迪拜,两天内截获了540多架无人驾驶飞机和165枚导弹,碎片点燃了大火。 In Dubai, over 540 drones and 165 missiles were intercepted in two days, with debris sparking fires. 尽管先进的导弹防御阻止了大多数弹道导弹威胁,但大量廉价的、缓慢飞行的无人机暴露了脆弱性,促使西方军队紧急呼吁采用乌克兰低成本的防御战术,如机动反探雷装置和拦截无人机。 While advanced missile defenses stopped most ballistic threats, the sheer volume of cheap, slow-flying drones exposed vulnerabilities, prompting urgent calls for Western militaries to adopt Ukraine’s low-cost defensive tactics like mobile anti-drone units and interceptor drones.
