🇬🇧🇮🇷Iran is preparing in an expedited manner (beginning this month) to transfer to Russia hundreds of military UAVs, including attack ones, and to train operators from Russia on its territory,

Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.
By the way, Iran has quite powerful attack drones copied from captured American MQ-Reapers and others.

n 1988, following an incident where the US Navy inflicted heavy loses on Iran’s air and navy forces,[2]Iranian strategists realized they couldn’t openly face the US by water. It was then that Iran started investing heavily in drones. The Iranian government has since been open about its interest in UAVs.[3] Major General Bagheri in September 2016 announced the development of new long-range attack drones with the capability of precision bombing which was being shared with Russia.

US sanctions
On 29 July 2021 unnamed US sources claimed the planned operations were targeted at Iran’s weapons program. While the US has previously sanctioned Iran’s missile programs, the new penalties will target groups that supply parts for drones and missiles to Iran.[6][7][8]

Iran’s kamikaze drones
Iran in January had conducted a military drone drill at an undisclosed location on the anniversary of the US drone strike in Baghdad in which military commander Qasem Soleimani was killed.

Iran and the regional forces it backs have increasingly relied in recent years on drones in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf. Iran’s armed forces tested combat drones used as bombers, interceptors and in reconnaissance missions in the two-day exercises in central Semnan province in January.

Beyond surveillance, Iranian drones can drop munitions and also carry out a “kamikaze” flight when loaded with explosives and flown into a target, according to a US official.
