Ukraine: Iran will supply Russia with over 200 drones this month

Ukraine’s defence ministry has announced, Iran intends to send over 200 drones to Russia at the start of this month.

The ministry said the drones include the Iranian-made Shahed-136, dubbed “kamikaze drones” because they fly at a target and detonate, plus the Mohajer-6 and Arash-2s.

It added: “It is known that the UAVs will be delivered via the Caspian Sea to the port of Astrakhan. Drones will arrive in a disassembled state. In the future, on the territory of the Russian Federation, they will be collected, repainted, and applied with Russian markings, in particular.”

Ukraine claims Russia has already used more than 400 “kamikaze drones” for its war in Ukraine, despite initially denying this was the case.

It is thought Vladimir Putin may have ordered as many as 2,400.

While Iran has continuously denied supplying Russia with Iranian-made drones, the UK and other Western allies have condemned their actions.
