“As for Iran, indeed, there is information that the Russian army is receiving and already using [Iranian drones – Ed.]. We have already seen one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) shot down, Shahed-136. It is a loitering munition, actually a suicide drone. It is clear that this target is extremely difficult, and we need additional systems to shoot such targets down,” Ihnat told.
In his words, Russia is likely to use other Iranian-manufactured drone modifications in the war against Ukraine, and the Ukrainian side should be ready for this.
“These are the new challenges, and there will be an adequate response and the new methods of countering them,” Ihnat noted.
Ihnat expressed hope that, in response to the supply of such arms for Russia from Iran and other authoritarian countries, the democratic world would provide advanced weapons to Ukraine.
A reminder that the Ukrainian military were likely to have destroyed an Iranian-manufactured unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) near Kupiansk on September 13, 2022.
