According to the ministry, for the first time in three weeks, there have been reports of attacks by Iranian-provided one-way attack (OWA) uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).
“These events remain to be verified, but it is likely that Russia exhausted its previous stock of several hundred Shahed-131s and 136s and has now received a resupply,” the update said.
On December 6, 2022, the Ukrainian General Staff reported shooting down 17 UAVs, including 14 Shahed-136s. On December 7, 2022, Ukrainian officials reported the use of Iranian-provided OWA UAVs targeting the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro regions.
“The last previously reported shooting down of Iranian Shahed-136s in Ukraine was on 17 November 2022. If verified, it is likely that Russia has recommenced attacks with newly delivered OWA UAV systems,” the ministry said.
