The international isolation and sanctions strengthened the Russia-Iran partnership, the Intelligence Service of the Ministry of Defense of UK says, Ednews reports.
Russia’s partnership with Iran has strengthened in recent years, almost certainly accelerated following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to the source.
"Iranian military aid to Russia’s campaign in Ukraine has included hundreds of one-way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA UAV) and artillery munitions. Iranian OWA UAVs have been a core element of Russia’s campaign of long-range strikes into Ukraine.
This arrangement has now been extended to include assembling and production of these UAVs, under license, in a facility in Russia," reads the information.
