"Iran has drawn into war": Tehran sends instructors to Crimea to help the Russian military - NYT

According to journalists, it is unknown how many instructors from Iran work in occupied Crimea. The US is convinced that the Russian Federation is very dependent on Iranian drones. Iran sent instructors to the occupied territory of Ukraine to help the Russian military master the drones of Kamikadze Shahd-136 that Tehran provided Moscow. About it writes the newspaper The New York Times.

It is reported that Iranian instructors work from the Russian military base in Crimea, where many drones-Kamikadze are based. Instructors from the Corps of Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, units of the Iranian Armed Forces, recognized by the United States by a terrorist organization. The former high -ranking official of the Pentagon and the retired CIA Mick Malroy officer said that the departure of drones and instructors to Ukraine had deeply drawn Iran into the war on the side of Russia.

"Even if they are just instructors and tactical advisers in Ukraine, I think it is significant," Malroy said. According to him, the Russian military wants to make the lives of Ukrainians unbearable, and therefore use drones for attacks on civic infrastructure. The publication writes that at first Russia sent its staff to Iran to study with Drone-Kamikadze. However, Iran then decided to send his instructors to the Crimea.

According to sources of the publication, Iranian staff is far from the front line. It is unclear whether the instructors are controlled by any of the drones. It is also unknown how many instructors sent Tehran to the occupied territory of Ukraine.

The United States stated that Russia's dependence on Iranian drones is a sign of the effectiveness of Western sanctions that cut Moscow from international markets, forcing Russia to fight its own weapons production and limiting its capabilities to buy weapons on the open market. Earlier, Focus reported that Arestovich told when and how Ukraine will handle the Iranian Droam-Kamikadze.

According to OP adviser, Russian invaders use drones-Kamikadze for attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure, for the killings of civilians. We will also remind that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are responsible for most crimes in Ukraine. According to Eric Moss, the chairman of the Independent International Commission from Ukraine, the account of a lost life goes to thousands. There are cases of mass execution, torture, rape.
