Russian forces took Iranian instructors to the occupied Kherson and Crimea regions to launch Shahed-136 kamikaze drones, the Ukrainian National Resistance Center reported.
The Iranian nationals reportedly teach Russian forces on using and monitoring the launch of the drones, according to information published on the Ukrainian armed forces-run website
The Iranians are based in the Russian-administered Ukrainian areas of Zalizniy Port, Hladivtsi in Kherson, and Dzhankoy in Crimea, the report said.
They “directly monitor the launch of drones on Ukrainian civilian targets, including strikes on Mykolaiv and Odesa,” it added.
“Iran helps the aggressor not only with equipment but also with people,” the report claimed.
