The US used “Ukrainian” tactics against Iran – Politico

8:11 PM, Today

Analysts note that the transformation of modern warfare in Iran is directly linked to the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ experience in implementing UAV systems.

During a large-scale operation against the Iranian regime, the American military for the first time employed a strategy developed by the Ukrainian Defense Forces against the Russian occupiers.

The issue concerns the massive use of low-cost, single-use strike drones to strike strategic targets, Politico reports.

This approach allows for significant damage to be inflicted without wasting expensive precision missiles on secondary targets. This tactic previously helped Ukraine withstand superior Russian forces, ultimately changing the face of modern military conflicts.

Task Force Scorpion Strike and the 2022 War Experience

US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the first phase of the operation included synchronized strikes from the air, sea, and land. However, the key innovation was the participation of the “Scorpion Strike” special forces unit, which coordinated swarms of low-cost UAVs.

Politico emphasizes that the Ukrainian experience of 2022 formed the foundation for the Pentagon’s current actions. The use of inexpensive drones has proven effective in situations where it is necessary to offset the enemy’s firepower and numerical superiority.

Epic Fury and Lion’s Roar: A Chronicle of the February 28 Attack

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a coordinated offensive against Iran, which both sides called differently. Washington codenamed the campaign “Epic Fury,” while Jerusalem dubbed it Operation Lion’s Roar.

The first wave of strikes was aimed at completely decapitating the Iranian system of governance. The main targets in Tehran were:

  • Residence and headquarters of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
  • The building of the Iranian parliament and judicial state bodies.
  • Intelligence facilities and military bases of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

  1. Just think what Ukraine could accomplish if it got everything it needs, including enough manpower.

  2. It’s a pity that Ukraine don’t have the weapons to use US tactics. I guess spending billions to bomb a third world shithole for Israel is more important than Ukraine.

        • I’m suggesting that the fat, orange-colored chickenshit should do as he pledged in front of the entire planet countless times; end the war in Ukraine. And this, without handing a virtual victory to the evil russian terrorist regime.
          Is this hard for you to comprehend, Red? If so, tell me, I’ll write it with crayons.
