Iran's $500 Drone Just Did What America's $2 Billion Missile Couldn't

- Published on Mar 6, 2026
- Iran's $500 drone just did what America's $2 billion Patriot missile defense system couldn't. A cheap Shahed 136 penetrated multiple layers of advanced US air defense, completed its mission, and exposed a fatal flaw in American military strategy.
The Pentagon says everything is fine. The math says otherwise.
In this video, we break down exactly what happened, why America's most expensive defense systems can't stop Iran's cheapest drones, and what this means for the future of US military power in the Middle East.

Those carriers are sitting ducks. They still think it's the 60s
🛰🚀🚀🚀🐲✨️
🔥🚢🔥🚢🔥
Happy days 🎇
They want Iran to sink them, so they can keep funding and building new. 15 new carriers are already being budgeted assuming these ones will sink. It's about sucking tax money to give to large contractors
@Experiments-Experiences- Tax money is not sufficient enough. That's why US people's assets (aka American mines, forestry, water, gas) leveraged against, bonds are sold against them.
Of course, if you employ me as your estate manager, you'd love to know that I'm letting others steal from it, won't you.
@Experiments-Experiences that is total nonesense though because they don't have the earth metals for 15 new carriers lol, they have 3 months left on their 12 month contract with China, and do you really think china are going to renew your contract after everything that has happened over the last 12 months LMFAO looks like US is shit outta luck, not to mention their war chest has already been consumed by the Houthis and we're barely 3 months into the year and 2026 war budget is finished lol.
Very well done, Iran! True intelligence, focus and sophistication can literally work miracles.
The patriot system can't even protect itself.
Even the Houthis gave them a bloody nose and made them retreat - and that was two carrier task forces!
@charlestoast4051During the Gulf wars the patriot system couldn't shoot down scud missiles we now get told in Ukraine they shoot down all sorts of Russian missiles, condition of Ukrania cities suggests otherwise
@StevenPappas-i3bin gulf war the efficiency of the Patriot system was less than 20%. But we were told that it's efficiency was more than 80%. Had truth was told the US would have tried to make it better. There is something called self compliance. US fell in that trap. So even after 35 years they are having the worst products .
😅
"Quantity has a quality all its own"-J. Stalin. Swarms of cheap drons can overwhelm any defenses.
Never bow down to America.
That's right
The US military has stolen $145,000 from every family in America . What could you do with this money?
Eat well for a week or two under the current financial threats.
Every single American can live a decent, affordable and dignified life with good health care, affordable education, lower rent cost and lower property taxes. The foreign entity seems to be worth the sacrifice of every single American, not just those serving in the Military.
Give people Healthcare & affordable Groceries, Free higher education like ISRAEL Does for their people!!

@snagrbuster7343The actor van Beek died recently of cancer according to his wife,the family is nearly broke due to medical bills
God bless Iran, more blessing to Iran.
Hopefully god is not the only option. Has not worked in the past. Perhaps confused based on those asking to be blessed.
آمین🎉❤
USA ONLY WANTS NATURAL RESOURCES OF IRAN REST OTHER REASONS R BASELESS FALSE FAKE FABRICATED BY USA ISRAEL & EU CRIMINAL COUNTRIES
Iran is the connection between Europe/Russia and India, Africa and SE Asia. Azerbaijan is in the same path which is why we meddle there. Georgia too.
The biggest evil is Netanyahu he is more pushing usa and he thinks the world is belongs to them
so why the world's superpower listening to the "spit in the ocean"?
Zionist lobby controlling American politicians
Zionist lobby controls the American politician
Yu people can't finish a statement without mentioning Netanyahu??
You mean Mileikowski.
The US MIC is not meant to win wars, it is meant to make as much money from tax payer dollars as possible to maximize share holder value.
so it can never be competitive. It may be shown up for what it is quite soon if things go badly. (i.e. caves to zionist pressure)
True . They dun wan Wars as they will be denied access of critical minerals for Weapons Building once the War starts. They can't make more. It is big sacrifice to them. So, those Oligarchs include certain congressmans , generals, share holders will lobby for non war.
It's both
America wouldn't fuck with north Korea.
More people know that vs the dupes that don't believe it.
That's right
@olnappyyeah cause they are brain washed
Because the king will pop one in the Merrikan A**e like عp5tein
Because they know n.Korea have nuke.
Peace is the answer to war.
Never going to happen, in fact as soon as, "peace and safety", is announced in some way, the worst conditions are due to occur.
Only after America is disarmed
The US/West/Middle-east and the like are evil murderers/warmongers/colonisers because they worship the evil/genocidal manmade/Jew-tooled God of Adam/Eve/Cain/Abel/Noah/Abraham/Jacob/Moses/Solomon/Joseph/Mary/Jesus/12 Disciples/Apostle Paul that never even existed in history.
Up Iran, may ALLAH continue helping you.
The question is 6is not up Allah
God is totally against what US is doing
Amine, Always
آمین🤲🙏📿⚖️🌍🎉❤
Allah is Arabic for God. Why don't you just say God or Heavenly Father ??!!
Iranians are pure genius, bar none 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bankrupt America? War machine too expensive and ineffective? How does this make sense?
USA pays a trillion dollars in interest to service it's 38 trillion dollar debt how long can you keep stealing countries resources to keep up your payments
The US learns the meaning of F.A.F.O.
RUSSIA CHINA MUST GIVE IRAN 300 NUCLEAR WARHEADS, EMP WEAPONS, MICRO WAVE WEAPONS LET IRAN EXIT FROM NPT & GO FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS 😊
5 is enough to finish Israel for good.
That would be the stupidest decision in the history of this planet.
Yep
000
000
IRAN MUST EXIT FROM NPT & GO FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS & PRE EMPTIVE STRIKES AGAINST USA & ISRAEL IMMEDIATELY THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION LEFT FOR IRAN & ITS BEST
Why are these idiots still employed if they cannot predict future threats? Why are they not resigning with red faces
U.S.A. is going under a new type of Afghanistan War
Usa only lost 2400 in that war how many hagies died
"Western intelligence services confirm that Iran is currently one of the frontrunners in the democratization of this technology by producing relatively cheap but effective autonomous weapons on a large scale."
Nah bro lmao there using China and Russian tech lol
@StephanoAmigos
What ever...Iran lead it❤
The so called invisibility of the US patriot defence system has been rendered ineffective in their proxy war in Ukraine and Israel
Izraelski ogon macha jeszcze amerykańskim psem ?
Ja
When technology ends we will see who has the minerals
If GPS & Starlink can be crippled thru jamming the whole Defense & Attack System will be sitting duck.
Great analysis by you .pl keep us informed
Thanks
Patriots were not doing too well in Ukraine either
If you want peace prepare for war
3:51 Patriots system is an old theory. Completely obsolete
america's defence apparatus is overbloated by crooked contractors.
💚🤍❤️🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷💪💪💪🤣🤣🤣
Iran are not afraid of the Americans. Their intimidation isn't working this time
America is only mighty in giant-looking, almost obsolete and wastefully expensive weapons. The day some country will stand up to America the results will shock the world
"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's Friend is Fatal"!!
Henry Kissinger
battleships became obselite cos of carriers..let that sink!!
Iran has 1 lac drone to destroy US and zionists
Worship vs War Ship.
Modern Accountant understand war economy combination.
Just imagine a 500$ Drone destroys the world`s mightiest vessel !!!
fail to identify the loss , America should closed west point and send them to business school
America military pays $599 for a hammer. 😂
How about light bulbs. We learnt that a couple of decades ago with Dick Cheney at the helm of Haliburton in the second Gulf War. Thieves in suits. That’s the American military industrial complex.
@MUSEVENI_IS_NOT_UGANDANI always laugh when the USA calls other countries corrupt, pentagon has a 850 billion dollar budget Bolt's cost 50 Bucks , everybody in the chain gets a Payday that's why they love never ending wars.
Iran the David is facing US the Goliath.
"Make yourselves (Iran) helpless to defend yourselves against a genocidal nation bent on your destruction and agree to that, give up all missiles that can reach Israel, leave yourselves totally defensiveless, and we are all good" - Trump
Sorry! The US is No Goliath!
David and Goliath faced each other, One to One, Man to Man against each other!
The US uses Proxies to fight, and if the Proxies win, then the US Admits they were Behind the Proxies.
If not, they Walk Away, saying " We had nothing to do with this War"!
American overpriced junk weapons.
His missiles he is going to live them and re going to rot under beneath the ocean of hormuz
CHINA RUSSIA MUST IRAN SEA & UNDER SEA LONGE RANGE WEAPONS PLUS SETALITES SUPPORT TO IRAN END AGGRESSION THREAT & DICTATORSHIP OF USA
Wish I could invest in Iranian industrial war complex they obviously will be the winner 🏆😎
Yeah but the American patriot missile system has failed time and time again !!!
American weapon is not better but over price
Very good
In old USSR military doctrine the aircraft carrier was considered a primary AN/SN missile target and "a target too good to be missed".
The usual salvo was 8 to 12 ordnance.
I think this was widely adopted by any military with serious weapons.
This AI guy is so smart, haha. He knows silver, gold, and military.
Great 👍
Thank you for acknowledging the AI assistance used in this channel. The analysis in this video is interesting and not what I have seen elsewhere.
The US should be scared, they dont even know
Reminds me of those "Stringbags" as they called them, WW1 air speed and they succeeded in torpedoing the worlds latest and best equipped battleship.
War is not fought like that Mr.
You got a mess here. The development of the patriot system cost about $17 billions. The missile cost about $2m.
Combustion engines? The small drones use electric motors.
They have electric motors to help save the planet .
WHERE???? seems important
Trump abiggest gang in our life time
Hit the Bases even if they "Claimmmm"to vacate them ,,they are just ttying to stop you from blowing them,,,,
Great work guys
Those drones don't use GPS tracking
Always been that way and they will continue but this time you and your goverment has been firm and sound and to survive everything all the attacks, Iran will survive this and will still be standing and come iut mire powerful and our prayers fir tge safety and the power to fight to defend the country but we still have hope they will talk and resolve we . Our prayers for your safety and victory and strenght is guaranteed remain blessed and safe and wishing the entire military and your government all the power stand strong
Yuk, yuk. Americans don't think outside the lines very well.
The 1990 “Peace Dividend” - A Vanished Opportunity - When the Soviet Union collapsed, the world momentarily stood at a crossroads:
Option 1: Build a pan-European security architecture that included Russia-something akin to Gorbachev’s “Common European Home” idea or the OSCE’s initially intended role.
Option 2: Geopolitically enclose Russia under Western institutions-NATO and the EU-while pretending that inclusion was possible only through subordination.
Washington/NATO/London chose Option 2, under the illusion of "unipolarity" and "the end of history." This decision annihilated the peace dividend - the enormous potential to redirect resources from military infrastructure to rebuilding civil society, global development, and domestic industry. Instead, global finance and defense elites concluded that maintaining a large-scale security apparatus was too profitable to dismantle. (Source is AlterAI )
The Western elites profit - the people of Ukraine and Russia pay a high price with their lives, and Western taxpayers foot the bill.
Iran MUST become a declared nuclear power with a massive nuclear arsenal.
The American aircraft carrier won't be able to withstand Iranian attack and they know it, last year a Houthi cheap missile nearly hit the carrier to the extent that it had to change direction so quick that a fighter jet fell into the sea.
TEMU made it cheaper, duh!
🔥 1 Kamikaze drone $500, 4000 Kamikaze drone $2 million🔥
.
🔥 US cost to shoot "1" Kamakazi Drone ~ $2 million, America is loosing 8000 times more money than Iran...🔥
good Job Respekt to Iran.. you need more to stop this Kolonie propaganda today
The mainly main of the US military is to work as a conduit for stealing government resources, not for successes on the battlefield. So everything is made as complex and as expensive as possible.
Everything is possible vise versa ,
Apparently economic of scale of production is potent to limited production
Next negotiation US and Netahyahu want Iran to stop or abandon their drones production.Iran must not have drones!
We know US air defense is a joke, Russia proved this, Iran proved this...what is the US thinking...these system could not protect israel. This is going to be a disaster for the US
When all is said and done, we the people would pay the biggest price and will suffer the most. All to satisfy the Greater ItsAHell expansionist ambition at the cost of global destruction, so long as one tiny group of manipulators get what they want to establish their new global empire to rule over all of us.
Nice
I tried looking at news about the drone attacking a patriot battery. What happened!
Absolutely correct without a doubt. Imagine Iran deploys a couple hundreds of $500 Shahid 136 drones to strike a carrier all at once. One individual $2M air defense missile needed to hunt one of those drones no other option. In a matter of less than 10 minutes they run out of those missiles. What happens to that defenseless carrier right after that? God knows.
Military techs are not monopoly for a country. Contributions of modern science
You’re damn right man
USS Gerald ford redirected to the middle east, they've been deployed for 8 months, their military hardware can be at 100% readiness, but the human onboard, yes they're toughies, but the human endurance has limits.
America should hire the Iranians to provide our military defense, we'd save some big money
Love u China Russia Iran
So best engineers are from Iranian Universities
Pertinent
StormCloudsGathering guy?
Washington is full of basterds filling their pockets and delivering shit! Especially the Pentagon...
What the West doesn't grasp is that when they imposed harsh sanctions on Iran, the Iranians did not just sit around reading their holy books, they went to work, and created their missile program.
If that $500 story is true, then it's a big laugh.
It's not true. Iran can build a battery powered quadcopter for $500, but not a long range winged combustion engine drone with serious destructive force.
Thanks. I had doubts 🙋♀️
Patriot is not America's only defense.. the defenses that will be used are new defense not yet publicly spoken about as well as the old patriot systems.
Those drones are 20k, not $500....
When and where is this supposed to have happened?
❤🎉
That is toys drone first test of iran 😂😂😂
Ukraine has proven that intelligence out performs military might
Shame america
Wonder if USA secretly uses drones
antimatter weapons will drop all drones ... microwave weapons
Great video, it got me to instantly subscribe. I question your numbers though. Iran should be able to produce way more of those drones than what you are suggesting. Another interesting fact to this, is how many interceptor missiles is the US capable of producing in 1 year? I've heard from a very legit military source that number is only 600. The US is completely incapable of supplying Ukraine, Israel, and their own ships with interceptor missiles at the rate they are going through them. It is basically inevitable, that the US is going to completely run out of interceptor missiles.
Is this old news or new news
The American military won't show what they truly have until it needs to be used... im with Iran on this ... I'm tired of israel buying our elections... israel has dirt on Trump and hes been compromised by Israel China and Russia ...
