Russia received three types of Iranian drones for war in Ukraine - CNN

The Russian Federation purchased and sent to its territory the first batch of Iranian battle drones. They will be used in the war against Ukraine. About it writes CNN with reference to sources in the US administration. "The United States believes that Russia has received combat Iranian drones, which will probably be used on the battlefield in Ukraine," the statement said.

The video of the day is said that the Russians took away drones from the Iranian air base at the beginning of the month and sent them to Russia in the middle of the month. Russian operators began to train drones in Iran last month. "The US now believes that Russia has officially purchased and transported the Drones of Mohajer-6, Shahd-129 and Shahd-191 to the Russian Federation," the newspaper notes. All three types of drones can be used for reconnaissance and struck by managed ammunition.

"The United States is convinced that Russia intends to import hundreds of such UAVs for the task of blows from the air, electronic war and shelling of the territory of Ukraine," - says CNN. Earlier, CNN reported that the Russian military started working with Iranian shock drones of Shahd-191 and Shahd-129 and were trained in Iran for several weeks.

The American Institute for the Study of the War in August 2 reported that Iran could send the first batch of drones to Russia for "field trials" and could count on the receipt of Russian military aircraft Su-35. Researchers have referred to the American Osint Accuunt on Twitter, which cited anonymous Iranian sources. The US President Assistant Jake Sullivan said Iran plans to transfer Russia to several hundred drones, including weapons, in an accelerated order.
