Russian Media: Thank you Iran - Let's erect a Monument to General Qassem Soleimani!
"An extremely unpleasant surprise awaited the Ukrainians on the first day of the mass use of Iranian UAVs," said Russian military expert Boris Rozhin.

Ukraine have no answer to this attack
Due to their small radar cross section, relatively low speed and low altitude, Iranian drones are extremely difficult to detect on radar. Moreover, they do not have the characteristics of manned aircraft, for which most modern air defense systems were developed.

Odesa has been under heavy attack since early morning as the Russian Army bombards military targets with Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones (codenamed "Geran-2") accompanied by also Iranian Mohajer-6 UAVs to provide additional targeting information.
The fact that Russia is striking so far away, in Odessa, and with so many Iranian drones worries the West.

According to information at least three - according to other sources six - Iranian kamikaze drones hit the Headquarters of the Command of Ukraine "South". Several ambulances have rushed to the scene. Ukrainian sources raise the number of Iranian Shahed-136 drones to 14… For starters.

American official: "Ukraine has a serious problem" - The War of Drones
US Army Captain Cam McMillan, who served in Iraq, considers Iranian drones to be one of the most advanced types of weapons.
McMillan says that while serving in Iraq, many of his fellow soldiers underestimated the threat posed by Iranian drones. However, it soon became clear how vulnerable the American air defense system was to them.

Iranian drones regularly attack US and coalition forces in the Middle East. The drones have slipped through heavy US defenses numerous times and hit targets on US bases. In Ukraine, these weapons pose an even greater threat than the one facing US forces and their allies in the Middle East, McMillan says.

Iranian drones have proven their worth during several wars in the Persian Gulf countries. Shahed drones have repeatedly attacked military targets and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
