Ukraine destroyed 223 Iranian kamikaze drones Russia used to attack Ukrainian cities and towns. Yet, Russia says it’s only using its drones with its own markings - false, rebranding and repainting does not hide the manufacturer.
newspaper reported on October 19 that it costs Ukraine more to shoot down the Iranian drones than it does for Russia to deploy them.With the price of the Iranian-made Shahed-136s standing at €20,000 to €50,000 for each vehicle, the total cost to Russia of the failed drone attacks unleashed onin recent weeks is estimated by military analysts at the NGO Molfar to be between $11.66m and $17.
“We should remember that the very fact of Russia's appeal to Iran for such assistance is the Kremlin's recognition of its military and political bankruptcy. For decades, they've been spending billions of dollars on their military-industrial complex, and in the end, they went to bow to Tehran to get rather simple drones and missiles," Zelenskyy said.
“A deal was agreed on Oct. 6 when Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, two senior officials from Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards, and an official from the Supreme National Security Council visited Moscow,” Reuters reported., which are “short-range surface to surface ballistic missiles capable of striking targets at distances of between 300 km and 700 km .”
