Russia planned a large-scale transfer of advanced drones to Iran, including approximately 5,000 fiber-optic controlled drones that are difficult to detect and jam. This was reported by The Economist, citing a confidential document obtained from a reliable source, according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that the plan also involved training Iranian military personnel for their use against American and allied forces in the Persian Gulf.
There are many reasons why an American war against Iran would fail. One of them is the effectiveness of Iranian drones. Now, a confidential document ... suggests that Russia offered Iran "un-jammable" drones and training on how to use them against American forces in the Persian Gulf and potentially elsewhere
It is indicated that the Russian GRU document contained a plan for the supply of long-range drones and the training of Iranian military personnel in their application. The materials also mention the idea of involving Iranian students, as well as other groups, in the training of drone operators.
The goal of the plan was likely to strengthen Iran's potential in the event of a possible conflict with the US in the Persian Gulf region. At the same time, there is currently no confirmation that this plan was implemented or that Iran actually received the specified weapons systems.
Recall
In April, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, stated his readiness to support Tehran and praised the Iranian people for their "resistance" to the US and Israel.
