Russia to begin sending drones to Iran in first evidence Moscow will provide military support in war, officials said

Russia is reportedly set to begin shipping drones, medicine and food to its ally Iran in support of its ongoing military efforts against the United States and Israel.

Western intelligence reports claim that Moscow and Tehran have held secret talks of drone supplies shortly after the war began, the Financial Times reported.

The Russians have already given Iran satellite imagery, targeting data and intelligence support but the drones would be the first potentially lethal aid they've supplied.

Russia has denied assisting Iran in its month-old conflict with the United States and Israel. Washington said it also received a denial about assistance earlier this month directly from ​Moscow when the issue ​was discussed.

Publicly, Russia said it has sent over 13 tons of medicine to Tehran via Azerbaijan and will continue to do so, emphasizing the need for humanitarian aid.

Moscow would be limited in terms of the kinds of models of drones they could send, including the Geran-2 and Shahed-136 'kamikaze' drone, security officials told the Financial Times.

The two nations agreed to a strategic partnership last year that did not include a commitment to mutual defense.

A spokesperson for the Kremlin neither confirmed nor denied Wednesday's reports.

Well, why not? We already fought proxy wars with Russia and China in Korea and Vietnam, and we’ve been fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, so what’s one more proxy war with Russia in Iran?

Then he will negotiate with Trump to get something he wants in return for not supplying more drones.

A new report claims that the strike at Bandar Anzali port targeted infrastructure used to transfer Shahed drones and ammunition between Russia and Iran.

I don’t think there’s going to be an easy way for Putin to send drones to Iran anymore.
It’s all just talk….

Trump should tell Putin that whatever remains of Iran's missiles and drones after Iran falls he'll give to Zelensky.
