Hadn't heard this before - the US took a Shahed, improved it, and is using that design against Iran.

However, to take out a $50k Shahed we are using expensive interceptor missiles.

US air defenses may not be able to intercept many of Iran’s one-way drones

The drones, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged, are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, two sources in the briefing told CNN. They are known to fly low and slow – a feature that makes them more able to evade air defenses than ballistic missiles. Another source familiar with the briefing said the officials made an attempt to downplay concerns about the drones and noted that Gulf state partners had been stockpiling interceptors.
