Female "special forces" in Ukraine? The media have opened a new front in the propaganda war.
“… Over the past week, Russia has deployed Shahed-136 and Mohajer-6 combat drones imported from Iran in greater numbers across Ukraine, with devastating results…”
***************************************************************
In addition to importing these from Iran, Russia will be MASS PRODUCING these drones domestically in huge numbers under license from the Iranian technology owners. Modern near peer warfare demands the use of drones to maximize lethality.
“… In the northeast, Ukrainian soldiers are trying to retake ground using Toyotas and other civilian cars — which are particularly vulnerable to drone attack — because their old armored vehicles were destroyed, Chobaniuk said.…”

Interesting. This explains the large number of destroyed civilian vehicles I’ve noticed recently in videos of destroyed Ukrainian military positions. Hadn’t seen much of that before in earlier videos and images.

How is Iran making drones? I thought Iran was sanctioned up the tailpipe?
Are the drones controlled by radio?
If so, there’s the answer.
This development confirms the ability of Russia to adapt and prevail.
This is a long-time characteristic of the Russian military.
Mostly made out of wood.
Who’d thunk Iran would provide more “game-changing” technology for the war we have?
If they’re not there already taking advantage, the guys at DARPA (el Al) are missing a golden opportunity to work on R&D of weapons to jam UAV controls (or ‘meacon’ them).
Because interdicting enemy UAVs will be crucial on the future battlefield.
