According to a report in the US media, Russia has reached an agreement with Iran to produce Iranian attack drones for its war against Ukraine domestically. Work is currently underway to get production up and running within months, the Washington Post wrote Saturday, citing information from intelligence agencies. The agreement was negotiated in Iran in early November.
Russia has already deployed hundreds of so-called kamikaze drones of the Iranian type Shahed-136 in the offensive war against Ukraine. These can fly for several hundred miles, circle over a target area for a while, and then drop onto a target with an explosive charge. The Russian army uses the drones for attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, among other things. With its own production, Russia could expand the attacks.
The Iranian side is currently handing over design documents and key components for production, the Washington Post wrote. The magazine referred to three government officials. They would be familiar with Secret Service findings available to US and other Western services.
