The Iranian drones now killing Ukrainians, described as “unmanned ‘kamikaze’ aircraft,” were developed with the help of lessons learned from a captured American drone. The same model had been used to surveil Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani compound, and the technology that powered it had been a highly guarded intelligence secret until a decade ago.
