Drones supplied to Russia before Ukraine War: Iran

Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, confirmed last week that Tehran supplied few drones to Russia few months before Moscow’s forces invaded Ukraine on 24 February. He said Iran has not supplied cruise missiles, as claimed by Ukraine.

“This fuss made by some western countries that Iran has provided missiles and drones to Russia to help the war in Ukraine – the missile part is completely wrong,” the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying. “The drone part is true and we provided Russia a small number of drones months before the Ukraine war.”

Although Iran-made Shahed-136 drones have been used to destroy strategic Ukrainian structures including power stations and dams, Russia says its forces have not used them in the ongoing war.

Amirabdollahian told IRNA that Tehran and Kyiv had agreed to discuss allegations about the use of Iranian drones in Ukraine two weeks ago but the Ukrainians did not show up at the agreed meeting. “We agreed with the foreign minister of Ukraine to provide us with documents they have that Russia used Iranian drones in Ukraine,” Amirabdollahian said, but the Ukrainian delegation pulled out of the planned meeting at the last minute.
