"Iran provided Russia with badly needed Shahed 136 combat drones and their production technology early in the Ukraine war. With time, the infamous Shahed (rechristened by Russia as the Geran-2) became the cornerstone of Russia’s deep-strike attack campaign in Ukraine. Iran also supported Russia’s war in other ways, ferrying artillery shells and other ammunition across the Caspian Sea. Signalling a desire to deepen their defence ties, Iran and Russia signed a strategic partnership treaty in January.
Despite that history of co-operation, a weakened Iran is unlikely to have much of an impact on Russia’s war effort today. That’s because Russia now produces vast quantities of Shahed 136 drones domestically, having received the production technology, blueprints and training from Iran. As Russia localised the production in its Alabuga Special Economic Zone, it span off variations from the original Iranian designs, improving the drones’ engines, warheads and resistance to jamming."

Russia no longer needs Iran’s help to sustain the war in Ukraine
Tehran’s humiliation won’t please Moscow, but domestic drone production and new alliances mean Vladimir Putin can fight on
