Iran Supplies 1,000 Combat Drones to Russia for War in Ukraine


Lebanese military expert Elijah Magier noted that there were a number of 'dark' deals between Iran and Russia. It's called the 'dark' deal because it wasn't announced at all as it should have been. Among the deals is Iran is ready to send 1,000 combat drones to Russia for use in the war with Ukraine backed by the United States (US) and allies. That number is far more than White House intelligence suspected.


Interestingly, secretly, several Iranian combat drones are said to have been successfully tested by Russia on the Ukrainian battlefield.

The delivery of 1,000 combat drones, including kamikaze drones to Russia, is considered a new milestone for the development of Iran's combat drone industry. Moreover, the contractor is a superpower. 

Apart from the Land of the Mullahs and the Land of the Red Bears being the closest allies, it is difficult for Russia to accept that Russia would buy armaments in very large quantities (some call it the largest in the history of purchasing Russian defense equipment to Iran) if the weapons systems were of low quality.

Unfortunately, there is no mention of what combat drones Iran supplies to Russia. It is known, Iran has developed many combat drones. The total is allegedly reaching 34 types of combat drones.

Even so, a pro-Iranian source quoted by Elijah Magier, revealed that the combat drones supplied have been tested and proven effective on battlefields involving Tehran, such as the wars in Syria and Iraq.

One of the combat drones confirmed to be sent to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine is the Shahid 129. This drone is one of the most advanced in the list of Iranian-made combat drones.

In addition to supplying defense equipment, Iran also receives supplies of defense equipment from Russia, such as Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets under an Egyptian contract. Unfortunately it is not stated how many there are.

Russia also assisted Iran in launching a satellite into orbit recently. It was carried out from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This satellite further strengthens Iran's defenses in targeting enemies in the Middle East associated with the US and Israel.


Iran and Russia are like fork and spoon. Complete each other. So far, Moscow has not paid much attention to the development of combat drones and has focused more on developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) with nuclear warheads. Tehran does the exact opposite of that.
