There must be some advancement on Shahed drones because before this they could only hit Stationary targets. That they can actually hit a helicopter flying is some new technology that they are putting on the 20,000 to 30,000 dollar Shahed drones
begin quotes:
The US Army AH-64 Apache helicopter downed in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an Iranian Shahed one-way attack drone.
The
drone, which was reportedly on fire, collided with the aircraft and
became lodged near the cockpit. This forced the pilots to make an
emergency water landing off the coast of Oman before the drone could
explode. Both crew members were successfully rescued.
