Iran' s 2-day massive drone drills amid US concern of possible supply to Russia (P2)

Iran on Wednesday launched exercises to test its combat and reconnaissance drones, state media reported, amid US concerns over the possible supply of Iranian-made unmanned aircraft to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine.

The two-day war-games involve 150 drones and will cover Iran's Gulf coast and most of its territory, state television reported. The country's air-defenses and "electronic warfare" capabilities will also be tested against mock enemy drones.

Iran and the regional forces it backs have increasingly relied in recent years on drones in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf.

The United States said earlier this month that Russian officials were being trained in Iran as part of an agreement on the transfer of drones between the two countries, and accused Tehran of planning to supply hundreds of unmanned aircraft to Moscow for use in Ukraine. (REUTERS)

2. Iran started on Wednesday two-day large-scale drone maneuvers involving different army units, semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

On the first day of the war game, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) manufactured by the Iranian army and the Defense Ministry successfully carried out reconnaissance and monitoring missions in border areas and in international waters, said the drills' spokesman Mahmoud Mousavi.

The missions were conducted by Yasir, Sadeq, Pelican, Ababil-3, Yazdan and Mohajer-6 drones, which are only a small part of Iran's drone capabilities, he added.

The central headquarters of the war game is located in the province of Isfahan, according to the IRIB news agency.(Xinhua)

4. Bayraktar manufacturer ‘will never’ supply drones to Russia
“No matter how much money they [russia] offer us, frankly, there is no question of handing drones over to them in this situation. At this time, all our support is completely on the side of Ukraine,” Haluk Bayraktar, the CEO of the Turkish company Baykar, told BBC. The manufacturer previously provided #Bayraktars for free to several fundraisers, in Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine, after they raised money to buy the drones for the Ukrainian army.
