Drone debris found in Ukraine suggests Russia using new tech from Iran
Last week, Ukrainian drone hunters picking up debris from Russia's nightly assault on their cities found a weapon that stood out. It had an advanced camera, an AI-powered computing platform, and a radio link for remote piloting from Russia. It also contained new, Iranian-made, anti-jamming technology, according to Ukrainian drone expert Serhii Beskrestnov. Unlike most Russian attack drones, which are black, this one was white. Inside, it had no Russian markings, but instead followed a 'standard Iran labelling system', Beskrestnov said. Experts noted that while labels were not conclusive proof, the English-language words align with how Iran marks its drones, suggesting it may have been sold by Iran to Russia to test in combat. Most Russian attack drones are black. One discovered last week was white. Photo: AFP Moscow has pummelled Ukraine almost nightly with Iranian-designed drones for four years. These drones swarm Ukrainian cities; while some carry warheads, many are decoys.

Footage shows major Ukrainian drone attack on Russian bombers
Ukraine conducted a 'large-scale' drone attack on Russian military aircraft on Sunday, striking more than 40 warplanes thousands of kilometres from its own territory, a security official said. The claims could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, the attacks in Siberia would mark Ukraine's most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday. Among the aircraft reportedly hit were Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, which Russia uses to fire long-range missiles at Ukrainian cities
