Iran provides Russia with drones for the war against Ukraine. The US Department of Defense noted that it is difficult to determine their effectiveness on the battlefield.
According to Pentagon spokesman General Patrick Ryder, the United States is closely monitoring the situation. However, he did not confirm the information spread by the media that the Russian army began to use Iranian drones in Ukraine.
It is too early to talk about the impact
US National Security Council John Kirby confirmed that Russia received the drones. He emphasized that it is “too early to tell” how the new weapons will affect combat. We are aware of certain difficulties the Russians have had with some of these drones,” Kirby said.
He didn't specify what he was talking about.
occupiers deny everything
Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Serhiy Kislytsya wrote that Russians are either crazy or pathological liars. This statement is connected with the words of the Kremlin representative in the UN, Vasily Nebenzya. He countered that Russia had bought the drones from Iran.
“I would like to ask for either evidence or recognition of the spread of false information,” Nebenzia said.
