Ukrainian intelligence said on Tuesday that Russia is expected to receive more than 200 Shahid-136, Mohajer-6 and Arash-2 drones from Iran earlier this month. A shipment of decommissioned drones will arrive across the Caspian Sea at the Russian port of Astrakhan. In Russia, drones will be folded, sprayed with paint and equipped with Russian symbols, Ukrainians say.

“Most likely they will be delivered to places north of Ukraine, from where they can be launched in such a way as to threaten the whole of Ukraine. One rocket has a range of 300 kilometers and the other 700 kilometers,” Ihnat said.
He specified that these would probably be Iskander-M missiles, which Russia has in its arsenal, but only in very limited quantities. According to him, the Ukrainian air defense cannot shoot down Iskander missiles, Oniks supersonic missiles and Kinžal hypersonic missiles.
