Shaheds are drones made by Iran and being used in the war by Russia.

(9,375 posts)4. Storm Shadow is a heavy duty long range British cruise missile
It was recently acquired and used sparingly (it's a pretty costly weapon) by Ukraine.
Shaheed is an Iranian drone widely used by Russia against Ukrainian targets.
Hitting a shipment of Shaheeds, if that's what it was, is a significant victory. Likely eliminated a hundred or so drones, in addition to the ship.
