Iranian Shahheda's Analogue: The Russian Federation has set up the supply of Chinese UAV contrary to Beijing's position

According to Robert Lansing Institute, Russia will receive a thousand drones from the Chinese company, which will become a cheap analogue of Iranian "Shahaneda". Delivery of drones in the Russian Federation will be done by Hong Kong company through Kazakhstan. Despite the sanctions and contrary to the official Beijing position, Russia continues to supply components and military equipment from China. About it writes the American Institute of Robert Lansing (Rli).

According to analysts, it is probably used for such purchases in military intelligence. Yes, one of the Chinese companies, namely Shandong Buyun Aviation Technology Co, Ltd, plans to deliver a thousand drones to the Russian Federation. The order was made by the Hong Kong company SGGI LIMITED. It is noted that she is dealing with logistics issues regarding the delivery of UAV from China to Russia. The report states that this company is probably related to Russian intelligence.

The drones will be delivered in disassembled form, each will be in separate cases. Initially, they will go to Kazakhstan, after which they will be sent to Russia. The RLI says that Kazakhstan does not prevent Russia from going through sanctions with the help of third countries. Therefore, it may indicate that Astana deliberately violates the sanction regime and it is likely that the Russians have penetrated the decision -making system in the country.

It is reported that drones should be delivered to Russia in April. It is likely to be ZT-180 UAV models, which is almost identical to the Iranian drone Shahd-136. Most likely, new Russian drones will be used in the war with Ukraine. Chinese UAVs can be charged with a weighing of 35-50 kg and to fly at about the same distances as Iranian "Shahda". The parameters of Chinese and Iranian drones are very similar. Analysts say this may indicate China Iranian technology.

In particular, this will allow Moscow to buy identical drones, however, at a lower cost. The American Institute of Robert Lansing cannot say whether the power of China is aware of this delivery of drones. It is likely that Russia itself came out directly to the manufacturer Bingo. It is specified that at the beginning of the year there were signs that the Chinese company plans to cooperate with Russia and produce up to 100 drones per month.

However, such deliveries can affect the negotiations between the US and China. We will remind, in early February this year the media reported that China was negotiating with Russia on the supply of drones of ZT-180. Then it was said that the Chinese company commissioned by the Russian Federation would produce 100 such UAVs. Also recently foreign journalists wrote that Russia is improving its drones. In particular, they create UAVs of carbon fiber, which allows to absorb radar signals.
