Ukraine Situation Report: Russia's Drone War Erupts Thanks To Iran
MSN The Drive ^ | September 23, 2022 | Emma Helfrich

Posted on 09/23/2022 6:42:53 PM PDT by Navy Patriot

Key areas in southern Ukraine came under attack from a number of Iran-supplied Shahed-136 'kamikaze' or 'suicide' drones today. It is by far the most high-profile and concentrated use of these types of weapons by Russian forces. Video evidence also emerged in recent hours showing an Iranian Mohajer-6 medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle being recovered from the water by Ukrainian forces, serving as the drone’s first recorded sighting on the Ukrainian battlefield.

The evidence of Mohajer-6’s presence was shared by the Southern Air Command of the Ukrainian Air Force. Up until now, only Shahed-136s had been spotted in Ukraine, making it so the recent Mohajer-6 retrieval would confirm that both Iranian drones were included in deliveries from Iran to Russia that had occurred earlier this month. This matches our report on what drones would likely end up being used by Russia in Ukraine as part of a deal between Iran and Russia that had been in the works since at least July. The employment of these Iranian drones has the potential to disrupt the conflict in multiple ways.

They should be. About two and a half years ago the Iranians shot down an Ukraine International 737-800.

"In 1943, Tehran became a place of hope for a new life without Nazism. In 2022, fundamentalist Tehran became a place that supports russian Nazism and the murder of peaceful citizens. Today, #UAarmy destroyed 6 russian kamikaze drones provided by Iran."

I guess, according to the logic, Iran is at war with NATO now.

Oh, wait, they have been at war with the west since the Ayatollahs took over...

Looks as though if NATO wants to keep ratcheting things up, so will Russia.

All of the high tech NATO gadgetry has a problem with Iranian drones? What happens when they have to deal with Chicom drones?

No, the Logic is that Iran is selling/supplying weapons to Russia that may alter the course of the war.

The author, Emma Helfrich, does not speculate on individual or National qualities, or motivations, and does not mention NATO.

She simply reports on war events where these weapons are used found or neutralized, and she does it well.

At this point, you humiliate yourself not President Zelenskyy. Everyone else knows the context & parody

To reiterate for those unaware or newbies:

In 1998 at 20 years of age, [Twenty-four years ago] In law school, Zelenskyy joined his local team competing in the KVN comedy TV show.
International competitions were held where teams (usually college students) competed by giving funny responses to questions and/or showing prepared sketches.

The sketch first depicted rugged, tough Cossacks with their outer costumes then removed to reveal themselves as feminized DRAG queens?!?!! Hence, the parody!

If you don’t get it that’s OK. The audience found it hysterical!

No, the one humiliating themselves is you, pretending to be a Christian while pretending the behavior of Zelensky can be excused away.

Furthermore, your “Christian” Schtick grows thin when you willing, and continually, Propaganda about the Ukraine, from sources that have already been proven to be willing conduits for left-wing inspired Propaganda.

It becomes blatant, when so many stories are proven to be false after the fact.

Your testimony becomes more and more ineffective as you continue this behavior.

The audience, who saw Zel dance like that while he seemed to really be enjoying himself coming out of the closet, were clearly desensitized pervs in attendance.

It’s sad what globohomos did to Ukraine.

Zelensky is really mad at Iran.


This needs to be verified but it was reported on the Telegram today that Zel expelled the Iranian ambassador and downgraded the relations. Perhaps he is indeed mad.


What is not clear is if the (very effective indeed) Geran-2 drones are indeed Iranian-made or manufactured in Russia from an Iranian design.

“you humiliate yourself not President Zelenskyy. Everyone else knows the context & parody”

I was trying to be kind to dissemble your innocence in presenting such a deceitful meme & in appropriate meme in an attempt to denigrate President Zelenskyy.
