Russia and Iran are planning to build a drone production plant - WSJ

The military alliance of the two countries, according to journalists, plans to jointly produce at least 6,000 Kamikadze drones, which can be involved in the war against Ukraine. Moscow and Tehran are moving in the implementation of plans for the construction of the Iranian drone in Russia. It plans to produce at least 6,000 drones for war in Ukraine. About it reports The Wall Street Journal.

It is noted that in the city of Elabuga, located in the Republic of Tatarstan, the Kremlin and Tehran delegations inspected the empty platform, where the construction of a plant is planned, which will be able to produce thousands of drones in the coming years. According to US officials, both countries seek to create a faster drone that can create new problems for Ukrainian air defense.

In addition, according to US officials, Tehran has already provided Moscow hundreds of drones, which she used to defeat military and civilian goals in Ukraine. And Biden's administration warned that Russia and Iran are developing a "full -fledged defense partnership". The White House states that Moscow has taught Iranian pilots flights on Russian jet fighters with the intention of sending Tehran these planes by the end of the year.

Until, Iran has been supplied to Russia mainly by the so-called self-mooless drones, known as Shahd-136, containing a small number of explosives, which detonates when unmanned aerial vehicles are cut into their own purposes. Russia used drones to defeat the power system of Ukraine. Subsequently, Ukraine's air defense was able to largely neutralize the threat of drones. Ukraine has shot down more than 540 drones since they began to appear in the sky of the country last fall.
