Yeah Iranian drones are garbage. That's how they bypassed 6 Patriot SAM batteries and destroyed half of Saudi Arabia's oil reserves.
Why are so many people getting upset that Iran is going to supply Russia with UAVs ? Russia has some decent models, but they never mass produced anything other than Orlon-10. Iran has thousands of drones, everything from stealth, multirole, ground targeting, interceptors, kamikazi, reconnaissance, etc
Because Iran has been sanctioned for years, Iran's weapons industry is basically sanction proof. The entire process, from the sourcing of raw materials, to the assembly lines and manufacturing process, have all been adapted to function despite western sanctions. Basically Sanctions might be able to throw a wrench into Russia's efforts to mass produce UAVs, but this is not the case for Iran.
We already know that the west is sanctioning Iran as much as possible so they cannot use that as leverage. They don't have the balls to attack Iran either, so there's nothing they can do. Iran is in a position where it can only gain from supplying Russia with UAVs.
Iran is not a vassal or subservient to the US or the EU. Iran is an independent, sovereign nation. If the west and its vassals states, like turkey, can supply Ukraine with weapons, then Iran can supply its ally Russia with weapons as well. Any threats towards Iran are laughable and will easily be brushed off.
Western nations can whine, cry and scream as Iranian drones destroy their weapons and kill their mercenaries, but that's about all they can do. They chose to sanction Iran and they chose to maintain sanctions on Iran. Now they can deal with the consequences of their actions.
I think this is fake news Russia would never consider iranian garbage drones but if am wrong then its a huge victory for iranian defence industry if a country like russia which is one of largest weapons exporter in the world uses their drones thats nothing else but a great achievement.
another question comes to mind why dont russians order chinese drones. chinese have all sorts of drones this news seems fake.
