Russia giving Iran 'specific advice on drone tactics', CNN reports Russia is providing Iran with advanced drone warfare tactics developed during its war in Ukraine, according to a Western intelligence official cited by CNN . The assistance reportedly includes guidance on how to deploy Iranian-designed Shahed drones, which Russia has mass-produced and used extensively in Ukraine, to strike US and Gulf targets in the Middle East. The official said Moscow’s support appears to have evolved from general intelligence sharing to more specific operational advice on drone targeting strategies.
