Iran’s Defeat Will Be a Blow to Russia

In the past few days, Ukrainian officials have been in contact with the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, offering to share their know-how in combatting Iranian drones, which have proved to be one of Iran’s most effective weapons during the past week. Ukrainian expertise is very specific: Iranian-made Shahed drones have become an essential part of the Russian arsenal. Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, is hoping to share the technology his country has developed to counter these weapons in return for Patriot missiles and other hardware.
