@Xenophon @BarelyEagle @Terry They were at 400 shaheds per day production level before the the demon nation attacked.. would imagine that went into high gear..
At this rate Trump will nationalize Raytheon
@HonkHonkBoom @Xenophon @BarelyEagle where are you getting this info about Iran producing 400 Shaheds a day?
>Iran is alleged to produce up to 400 Shahed-class drones per day, according to Israeli estimates cited in reporting from February 2026. This production rate, if accurate, would allow Iran to manufacture over 146,000 drones annually, enabling rapid replenishment and expansion of its drone arsenal even during active conflict.
@Xenophon @Terry It's clear Iran has been preparing for this conflict since at least 2003, if not 1991. The Houthis demonstrated that they could effectively close the Red Sea with missiles. This war was lost before the first shot was fired because they were better prepared and had the better doctrine.
