According to information provided by an official representative of the intelligence community from one of the Western countries, Russia is actively transferring its latest tactical developments in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to Iran. The “Shahed” drones, developed in Iran and widely used by Russia during the conflict with Ukraine, have shown impressive results in overcoming air defense systems of the Gulf Arab states.

The intensification of cooperation between Russia and Iran in drone technology raises serious concerns in the international community and could significantly impact the balance of power in the region.
