Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Alludes To Drone Supply To Russia: These Drones Are The Pride Of Our Country; Had We Not Launched Our Nuclear Project Years Ago, We Would Have To Launch One Now
Memri ^ | Oct 19, 2022

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said in an October 19, 2022 address that was aired on Channel 1 (Iran) that in the past, the West had dismissed Iran's missile and drone technologies, but that today admits that they are very dangerous and complains about Iran supplying them to "so-and-so." It should be noted that Khamenei's statement may be a reference to recent reports that Russia has been using Iranian-made drones in Ukraine. Khamenei also said that the drones are the pride of Iran. Later in the address, he said that industrial use of nuclear energy has increased throughout the world, and that if Iran had not begun developing its nuclear project many years ago, it would have had to do so now and suffer the consequences of being so far behind the rest of the world.

A bunch of chintzy drones are “the pride” of Iran? Whatever happened to the poetry and music, the cuisine and the architecture? Now your “pride” is supplying toys for Putin? How sad.

When O was president one of our drones just happened to go down in Iran.
Instead of blowing the thing into the stone age, he politely asked for it to be returned.
Months, years, later it was returned.
Shocking that Iran now has drones.

Exactly what I was going to post. How is it that Iran, alone in the entire Middle East, has such drone technology? It can ONLY be explained by Obama and ValJar handing this technology over to the Mullahs.

The issue is Russian is reducing the explosive payload of the drone to add a GPS guidance system to make them precision weapons.

There are things that ARE sad, inherently. My state of mind, however, is usually one of irrepressible optimism. But my state of mind is irrelevant.

It is sad that Iranians no longer pride themselves on eating rice with their hands as daintily if not more than others do with chopsticks, spoons or forks, or their weird, arrhythmic music that still manages to be sublime in its own way, or their poetry, architecture, philosophers, etc. ‘cause they ain’t into that anymore, just into seeing how many infidels, adulteresses, queers and Zionist spies they can hang on a construction crane at a soccer stadium, based on suspicion or torture confessions, and their latest suicide drone sales.
