Iran smuggled new models of cutting-edge long-range armed drones to Russia for use in its conflict with Ukraine using boats and a state-owned aircraft. Following a special visit by officers and experts to Tehran in November, where they were given a comprehensive tour of Iran's technological capabilities, at least 18 of the drones were delivered to the navy of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
