Iran’s intervention in Ukraine: The spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Yury Ihanat, claimed today (Friday) during a media briefing that since the middle of last month, the Ukrainian forces have shot down over 300 Iranian-made drones. “More than 300 Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones which Moscow uses in order to paralyze infrastructure in the country, have been shot down since September 13,” he said.

He claimed that the main reason for the Russians’ use of Iranian drones is the severe shortage they are experiencing of ammunition, including various types of missiles. “They recently only hit critical infrastructures of Ukraine, and showed no interest in military objects,” he added.

He further added that the drones are often launched in the early morning hours, when they can only be detected by Ukraine’s radar systems.” Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that more than a third of the country’s energy sector had been destroyed over the past month.
