TIL… Shahed means Witness in Farsi, a reasonable name for a drone. I’d mistakenly assumed it meant martyr (shaheed, in Urdu too) and read too much into the kamikaze drone headlines A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Its called Shahid, the e is i in our Indian pronounciation. Shahid is a fairly common name among urdu speaking people in the sub continent. Shahid Afridi, the cricketer. Im sure you would have heard the name. There is a actor called Shahid Kapoor as well.
