The US Army is deploying low-cost Merops interceptor drones to protect its forces in the Middle East, amid the growing threat posed by Shahed-136-type drones, Army Recognition writes.
These systems have already demonstrated effectiveness in combat conditions in Ukraine, a factor that has been a key driver of their adoption.
This approach reflects a broader transformation in air defense, where the mass use of drones is driving a shift toward scalable and cost-effective solutions.
