Following the alleged Ukrainian drone strikes against military bases in Russia (see video above), the US government has said it did not “encourage” or “enable” Kiev to attack Russia. However, it is important to understand “what Ukrainians are experiencing on a daily basis as a result of the ongoing Russian aggression,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed. It has now become known that the Russian government has apparently again ordered hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles from Iran.
“We know that Iran intends to significantly increase its deliveries of unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles to Russia,” United Nations diplomats said in New York. Moscow wants to combat the dire shortage of military supplies. There are several hundred guided missiles and hundreds of drones. “I don’t think they’ve shipped yet, but they’re definitely on the order books,” says a source in New York.
Kamikaze drones from Iran
According to consistent reports, Iran had already sent drones to Russia in August, which can be used to attack military objects such as radar systems and artillery, for example. A few weeks later, Russian forces repeatedly attacked targets in Ukraine with Iranian Shahed 136 kamikaze drones, crashing at high speed and causing extensive damage. EU states then imposed additional sanctions on Iran, which had already been the subject of a number of punitive measures.
Leaders in Moscow and Tehran officially deny that Iranian drones are being used in Ukraine. However, Russian military experts also said in state media that they were unmanned aerial vehicles of Iranian design, which Russia used in Ukraine under the name Geran – in English: geranium. Pieces of debris discovered on the ground also seem to indicate that. Russia and Iran have long been cooperating militarily.
US report: range of HIMARS missile launcher changed
Ukraine and the US are doing the same. “We are giving Ukraine what it needs on its sovereign territory – on Ukrainian soil – to take action against the Russian aggressors.” State Department spokesman Ned Price declined to comment Tuesday on a report from the Wall Street Journal, according to which the US allegedly modified US HIMARS missile launchers supplied to Ukraine so that they could no longer be used on Russia. fired. US President Joe Biden has publicly stated that he is not in favor of longer-range missiles for Ukraine, fearing an escalation that could bring his country into direct conflict with Russia.
