The interesting active map linked at this comment spends 6+ minutes describing and showing the kinds of issues Ukraine drone operators found with the ME purchasers of their drones, and also how they helped their customers deal with them and also introduce money savings equal or better drone skills and uses.

One serious difference was the customer’s troops tendency to run away from Iran’s attacks rather than sticking to the job of trying to destroy Iran’s weapons before they hit. Also Ukraine had been getting bad publicity on their drone systems, based on inadequate skill exercised by the new owners. Arrival of Ukraine teachers has improved success.

Ukraine’s drone technology, as superior as it may be, will not continue being so. Not after the middle-east and the whole world has gotten their hands on that technology, and then, the superior Ukraine drone tech will be equal to everyone else’s. It’s the same as with nuclear bombs; after so many countries have gotten their hands on the technology first advanced by the U.S., can anybody point to the U.S.’superiority in that sector?

Once the whole world knows the latest and greatest, the hype behind the Uke drones will cease. It was better left to the Ukes alone and their advantages would still exist.

As war now dominates the headlines, it's critical to remember how we got here.

In January, Iran's security forces carried out one of the deadliest crackdowns in the country's modern history and at the same time, a parallel war was unfolding online. This special report reveals how Tehran seeded the false narrative that the uprising was a CIA–Mossad plot and how far-left influencers, far-right voices, bot farms and foreign amplification networks helped spread it worldwide.

Drawing on exclusive findings from the Network Contagion Research Institute and interviews with leading analysts, this investigation exposes how the regime exports propaganda to whitewash mass killings and shape global opinion — even as conflict escalates today. An Iran International and The Free Press investigation by @NegarMojtahedi and @FPJaySolomon.
