Closer to Russia in the war in Ukraine, Iran in Gaza is taking a stand against Israel and its biggest supporter, the United States.
While the spread of war in the Middle East and Europe continues to be a nightmare scenario for the world, a news from the UK entered the agenda from the first row.
British SKY News reported Tehran’s new weapon with the headline ‘Iran’s new attack drone developed for Russia’s war in Ukraine’.
Iran has developed a new high-tech attack drone for Russia, Sky reported, citing an anonymous security source.
The report said that the new UAV is part of the Shahed-101 UAV family, all of which have a distinctive V-shaped tail.
The source said the drone, which is about 2.5 meters long and has a wingspan of 3 meters, can be launched from a vehicle and is estimated to have a range of up to 1,500 kilometers.
The new UAV is believed to be equipped with a live broadcast transmitter for video transmission.
Such reconnaissance capabilities mean that the UAV can be used to identify targets to be hit by other UAVs or weapon systems on Ukraine’s frontline.
Russia is using a combination of drone and missile strikes to try to penetrate Ukraine’s Western-backed air defenses in a wave of deadly attacks on civilian and military targets across the country, which have intensified in recent days.
Ukraine and its Western allies have previously accused Tehran of supplying Moscow with hundreds of one-way strike drones known as Shahed-131 and Shahed-136.
The Russian defense ministry and the Iranian foreign ministry have not yet responded to SKY News’ request for comment.
In September, the Iranian president denied that his country had sent drones or other weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine.
A Ukrainian source said that the claim that a new type of UAV is being developed is most likely true.
‘We have major concerns about the possible procurement of the types of UAVs mentioned,’ the source said.
