Ukraine Claims To Have Downed An Iranian Drone Used By Russia

Warzone/The Drive: Russia Has Begun Using Iranian Kamikaze Drones On Ukraine 

The first evidence has come to light of an Iranian loitering munition, or ‘Kamikaze’ drone, used by Russia in its war in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials are claiming the destruction of the first example of an Iran-supplied drone used by Russia in the war in Ukraine. 

The assertion is backed up by photos showing the apparent remains of what looks very much like an Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munition, or ‘suicide’ drone, reportedly found in eastern Ukraine. 

This appears to confirm that Iranian-made drones have not only been delivered to Russia but are now being employed in combat, including in strike missions.
