Drones are now collected in Russia: Russian Federation and Iran are deepening military cooperation - Britain's intelligence
It was noted that through international isolation of the Russian Federation, it has reoriented its foreign policy efforts to "less desirable partnerships" in order to obtain diplomatic, economic and military support. The British intelligence said that the Iranian military assistance of Russia contained hundreds of unilateral shock unmanned aircraft and artillery ammunition.
In particular, these Iranian drones have become a key element of the Russian campaign of far strikes in the territory of Ukraine. Currently, this arrangement has been expanded and contains the collection and production of UAVs under a license at the Russian enterprise. In addition, there is an increase in Russian-Iranian diplomatic and economic ties.
The British Ministry of Defense is convinced that Russia and Iran's interaction can intensify through multinational forums after Iran's accession to the Shanghai cooperation and an invitation to join the Brix Economic Forum. In particular, economic relations may deepen because the Russian Federation is softened to mitigate the consequences of sanctions. Tehran recently stated that the Russian Federation has invested $ 2. 76 billion in Iran during 2022-2023.
We will remind, on September 30, military expert and aircraft Mikhail Zhirokhov believes that Iran is unlikely to sell the updated drones-Kamikadze to the Russian Federation. He noted that the Russian Federation will not modernize its UAVs until it reaches 100% of losses. On September 28, the Institute of War Study said that Iran could reach Russia's agreements on missile transfer.
