Iranian instructors of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps were spotted in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Over the past few weeks, the Russian Federation has been actively using drone kamikaze against Ukrainian critical infrastructure, in order to create psychological pressure on citizens. While the Islamic Republic, which officially denies supplying Russia with UAVs of its own production, probably sent its instructors to the aggressor country to teach the Russian military how to use the Shahed-136. Experts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) do not exclude the fact that the Iranians are not limited to theoretical studies.
Back in August, the United States confirmed the information that Iran had concluded an agreement from the Russian Federation on the transfer of UAVs, and literally in a month, Ukraine was attacked by Iranian weapons. Also recently, US officials, as reported in New York Times's article stated that members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had arrived to help the Russian military.
