Middle East ki aashmanon mein aaj kal ek ajeeb si jung chal rahi hai. Ek taraf Iran ke banaye huye saste aur khatarnak drones hain, toh doosri taraf Saudi Arabia aur UAE jaise mulk hain jo apni hifazat ke liye arabon dollar kharch kar rahe hain. Par asli baat yeh hai ki sirf paisa fenkne se kaam nahi chalta. Iran ke Shahed drones ne poore khitte ka defense logic hi badal kar rakh diya hai. Ye drones saste hain, dher saare hain, aur inhen rokna mahanga padta hai. Ab Saudi aur UAE ne iska tod nikalne ke liye apni strategy puri tarah badal li hai.
Iran ke drones ka khauf aur unka sasta hona
Iran ne jo drones banaye hain, unhen "kamikaze" drones kaha jata hai. Inka kaam hai bas udna aur nishane se takra kar khud ko khatam kar dena. Yeh drones koi bahut badi technology nahi hain. Inmein wahi engines lage hote hain jo aapko ek sasti lawn mower ya motor-glider mein mil jayenge. Par yahi inki sabse badi taqat hai. Ek Shahed-136 drone ki keemat shayad 20,000 se 30,000 dollar ke beech hoti hai. Jabki ise girane ke liye jo Patriot missile chalaayi jati hai, uski keemat 3 se 4 million dollar hoti hai.

Aap khud sochiye. Agar dushman 100 saste drones bhejta hai, toh aap apne saare mahange missiles khatam kar denge aur bank balance bhi khaali ho jayega. Saudi Arabia ne Yemen ke Houthi hamlon mein yahi dard jhela hai. UAE ne bhi 2022 mein Abu Dhabi par huye drone hamlon ke baad mehsoos kiya ki purana defense system ab kaafi nahi hai. In mulkon ko kuch aisa chahiye tha jo sasta ho aur dushman ke drone ko hawa mein hi bhasm kar de.
Laser technology aur naye defense systems ka aagman
Ab khel badal raha hai. Saudi Arabia aur UAE ab sirf missiles par bharosa nahi kar rahe. Wo ab "Directed Energy Weapons" yani laser guns ki taraf mud rahe hain. Saudi Arabia ne haal hi mein China se Silent Hunter laser defense system kharidna shuru kiya hai. Iska faida kya hai? Laser chalane ka kharcha sirf bijli ka hota hai. Ek baar fire karne ka kharcha shayad 1 dollar se bhi kam baithta hai. Additional information regarding the matter are covered by BBC News.
UAE ne bhi Israel ke sath milkar Iron Beam jaise systems mein dilchaspi dikhayi hai. Iron Beam ek aisa laser system hai jo drones ko sekand mein jalakar raakh kar deta hai. Jab dushman 50 drones bhejta hai, toh laser system bina ruke unhen ek-ek karke gira sakta hai. Ismein ammo khatam hone ka darr nahi hota. Bas generator chalu rehna chahiye. Yeh wahi "tod" hai jiska zikr aaj kal defense circles mein ho raha hai.
America aur Israel ke sath naya alliance
Middle East ki security mein ek aur bada mod ye hai ki ab mulk akele kaam nahi kar rahe. Pehle Saudi aur Israel ek-doosre se baat tak nahi karte the. Par Iran ke drone khatre ne sabko ek table par la diya hai. "Middle East Air Defense Alliance" ki baatein ab hawa mein nahi hain, balki zameen par dikh rahi hain. Iska matlab ye hai ki agar Iran se koi drone nikalta hai, toh uski jankari Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, aur Saudi ke radars ek sath share karenge.
Is network se faida ye hota hai ki drone ko detect karne ka waqt badh jata hai. Pehle jab tak pata chalta tha, drone sar par hota tha. Ab sensors aur AI ki madad se in drones ki "signature" ko pehchan kar unhen raaste mein hi rokne ki taiyari hoti hai. Ye ek tarah ka "Digital Shield" banaya ja raha hai jo poore khitte ko cover karta hai.
Domestic production par zor
Saudi Arabia ke Vision 2030 ka ek bada hissa ye hai ki wo apna 50% defense budget local manufacturing par kharch karega. UAE toh pehle hi EDGE Group ke zariye apne khud ke drones aur anti-drone systems bana raha hai. Wo ab sirf khariddar nahi rehna chahte. Unhen pata hai ki agar kal ko America ne supply rok di, toh wo Iran ke samne kamzor pad jayenge.
UAE ne apne 'Hunter' series ke drones aur electronic warfare systems export karna bhi shuru kar diya hai. Wo ab Iran ke "saste drone" model ko hi unke khilaf istemal karne ki taiyari mein hain. Agar Iran saste drone bana sakta hai, toh UAE usse behtar aur saste interceptors bana kar dikhayega. Ye ek technical race hai jismein har roz nayi coding aur naye sensors ka muqabla ho raha hai.
Electronic Warfare ka asli khel
Sirf laser aur missile hi kafi nahi hain. Asli jung toh frequencies par ladi ja rahi hai. Iran ke drones GPS aur radio signals par chalte hain. Saudi aur UAE ne ab bade paimane par "Jammers" lagaye hain. Ye jammers drone ke dimaag ko sunn kar dete hain. Jab drone ka GPS signal kat jata hai, toh wo ya toh rasta bhatak jata hai ya wahi zameen par gir jata hai.
Is technology ko "Soft Kill" kehte hain. Ismein koi visphot nahi hota, koi aag nahi lagti. Bas ek switch dabaya aur drone bekar ho gaya. Par Iran bhi chalak hai. Wo ab aise drones bana raha hai jo bina GPS ke bhi ud sakein, jo zameen ki tasveerein dekh kar apna rasta dhund lein. Is liye ye muqabla kabhi khatam nahi hone wala. Har nayi dhal ke liye ek naya talwar taiyar ho jata hai.
Middle East ki security ka naya chehra
Aaj ki tareekh mein Middle East sirf tel ka markaz nahi raha, balki ye duniya ki sabse badi "Defense Lab" ban gaya hai. Jo drones aur anti-drone systems yahan test ho rahe hain, wahi aage chalkar poori duniya mein beche jayenge. Saudi aur UAE ne ye saaf kar diya hai ki wo ab Iran ki "Drone Diplomacy" se darne wale nahi hain. Unhone technology, alliance aur local production ka ek aisa mishran taiyar kiya hai jo Iran ke saste hathyaron ko mahanga saabit kar dega.
Agla kadam ye hai ki in mulkon ko apne cyber defense ko aur mazboot karna hoga. Kyunki drones toh sirf ek zariya hain, asli khatra toh us computer program mein hai jo unhen control karta hai. Agar aap dushman ke control room ko hi hack kar lein, toh drone kabhi udega hi nahi. Saudi aur UAE ki intelligence agencies ab isi direction mein kaam kar rahi hain.
Duniya bhar ke defense experts ki nazrein is khitte par hain. Sab ye dekhna chahte hain ki kya laser aur AI waqayi un saste drones ko hamesha ke liye bekar kar denge. Filhal toh palda Saudi aur UAE ka bhari lag raha hai, par geopolitics mein sukoon bahut kam waqt ke liye hota hai. Aapko har pal taiyar rehna padta hai, kyunki technology kabhi rukti nahi. Apne defense systems ko update rakhein aur sensors ki range badhayein, yahi aaj ka mantra hai.
