Video Day Commander of Artillery of the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces, Colonel Rodion Kulagin said that only in the area of actions of his brigade Iranian drones, which usually fly in pairs, and then crash into the target, destroyed two 152 mm self-propelled howitas, two 122 mm. Self -propelled howitzers, as well as two armored personnel carriers. Before such a large-scale use of ShahED-136, Russia tested them last month, says Kulagin.
According to him, the invaders were struck by a drone of a strike of 155-mm American howitzers M777, another failed, but was restored. The colonel noted that Iranian drones are small enough and fly low - this complicates their detection by Ukrainian air defense systems. For the first time, the use of drone from Iran was reported on September 13. The Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down ShahED-136 in Kupyansk.
In early September, the United States imposed sanctions against three companies from Iran, which produce percussion drones that are supplied to the Russian Federation. At the end of August, CNN reported that the Russian Federation had purchased and delivered the first batch of Iranian battle drones to its territory. This information was later confirmed in the White House.
