Russia appears to have run out of the deadly Iranian-made drones it's been using to terrorize Ukraine

Russia appears to be out of Iranian-made drones, Western officials said Tuesday. The comments come after Ukraine's military said Iranian drones don't work during cold weather. British intelligence said last month that Russian suicide drone attacks appeared to stop. Russian forces appear to be out of Iranian-made drones that have been used in recent weeks to terrorize Ukrainian cities and civilians, Western officials say.

One unnamed Western official said Tuesday that while Moscow has run out of the Iranian drones, it still anticipates "a resupply," according to an ABC News report. The comments come amid a drop in usage for the deadly systems.

Yevgeny Silkin, a top Ukrainian military official, said recently that Russia had stopped using Iranian-made drones because they don't work in cold weather, noting that they are constructed using plastic and other materials that are not resistant to frost.

Britain's defense ministry shared in a late-November intelligence update that there had been no public reports of "one way attack" (OWA) drone strikes since November 17, a reference to the Iranian-made explosive suicide drone Shahed-136 that became a weapon of choice for Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces.

"Russia has likely very nearly exhausted its current stock, but will probably seek resupply," Britain's defense ministry said at the time. "Russia can probably procure UAVs from overseas more rapidly than it can manufacture new cruise missiles domestically."

The last 15 times I said Russia was out of drones, I didn't mean it. But this time I really mean it.

With no drone attacks since Nov 17th, Russia has run out of imported drones. Cancerous Putin is left with more egg on his face. Pathetic Putin is reduced to begging lil Kim to send him some Korean missiles.

“With no drone attacks since Nov 17th, Russia...”

Mom used to always tell us that we should all just say NO! to drugs.

Russian uses drones daily.

Russian LANCETs are steadily taking out Ukrainian military hardware, DAILY.

Sources issues are not and is not my problem, propaganda peddler.

Refute the information, idiot or keep the sources issues to yourself.

Sure, Stepan. I'm sure Vlad contacted you with this news on your hardline to the Kremlin.
