Analysts from the Institute of War Study (ISW) in their daily analysis for January 4. The experts decided to calculate when the Russians will be able to use all UAV reserves from Iran. On January 4, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate Vadim Skibitsky reported that since September 2022 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used 660 Iranian drones. He added that the Russian Federation contract with Iran provides for the transfer of 1750 drones.
Now the occupiers need to replenish their stocks after intensive use of these systems in the previous days. The ISW believes that Russian troops will use all 1750 drones by May 2023 if they are used with the same intensity. Analysts note that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to rely on the use of Iranian UAVs because they are a cheap alternative to traditional high -precision missiles, whose reserves in Russia are likely to be significantly depleted.
We will remind, on January 4 in OK "South" reported that the Russian Federation is preparing a massive rocket strike in Ukraine for Orthodox Christmas. In particular, the occupiers can use Iranian drones of Shahd. On the same day, NYT wrote that Ukraine is using expensive missiles to destroy Iranian UAVs. According to experts, the production of one drone will cost $ 20 thousand, and the cost of starting one launch "Earth-township" can be up to $ 500 thousand.
