I know that there is a range limitation, but for Shaheds specifically, it wouldn’t matter. I don’t think that we can shoot Shaheds 100 of Km away anyway.
What makes you think we can’t shoot Shaheeds at 100km distance? The operational envelope of Eren states, 100+ km engagement range.
The turbojet engine that propels it is supposed to give it fairly high speed. It can sustain this speed for 15+ minutes. At 600km/hr speed that means 150+ km range. At 400km/hr it means 100km range.

Shaheed drones travel at 180km/hr. Eren could easily run after it and catch it up. But in most cases it will probably go for it head on, which will increase the engagement range.

Wouldn't you need a visual confirmation to shot it down?

Wouldn’t it be hard to lock it and shoot it at such a distance ? Knowing it’s size and it’s relatively lower speed ?

It is specifically advertised against low speed aerial targets, why would its slow speed be a problem when it designed against it?

Edit: It also has a imaging infrared seeker, you don't need to lock onto anything and Eren is capable of detecting, tracking and engaging targets according to Aselsan, so, 100 km engagement of something like a Shahed isn't that far fetched.
