Saudi Arabia Attacked Yemen With Shahed Drone Clone For First Time (Videos)
Saudi Arabia has used its #SKYWASP one-way attack drone in a strike on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, marking the first known combat use of the newly developed system by the kingdom.
The drone was spotted flying over the #YAF-held capital on September 18 as #Saudi Arabia intensified its air campaign against the group following its recent advances along #Yemen's western coast.
SKYWASP was developed through SR2Vector, a joint venture formed by Saudi defense company SR2 Defense Systems and U.S. #drone developer #Vector. The partnership was established earlier this year as part of a broader effort to manufacture advanced unmanned systems inside the kingdom.
The drone is designed as a one-way attack system intended to reach targets at long distances before delivering its payload.
