Russia Receives Faulty Combat Drones From Iran

A first batch of Iranian-made combat drones has been received by Russia from Tehran but many of them are faulty, the US military has said.

“It’s likely part of Russia’s plans to import hundreds of Iranian UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles, of various types,” Pentagon spokesman Brig-Gen Patrick Ryder was quoted as saying. Reports said

However, Ryder says the available intelligence suggests the equipment has “already experienced numerous failures.” He offered no evidence for this. Reports said.

In the war both Ukraine and Russia are using large numbers of drones both for attack and surveillance.
