Russia is close to fulfilling a shipment of drones to Iran, according to Western intelligence reports. Iranian and Russian officials began discussing the provision of drones shortly after the outbreak of war between Iran and the United States and Israel. The deliveries are expected to be completed by the end of March. The specific types of drones to be supplied are unknown but would likely consist of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as the Geran-2 suicide drone, an improved Russian version of the Iranian Shahed-136 design. Russia has already provided Iran with satellite imagery, targeting data, and other intelligence support.
