He emphasized the necessity of imposing sanctions on governments and organizations that provide them with the pertinent parts, in addition to Russia.
Iran has been supplying Russia with Shahid drones, namely models 131 and 136, which are a growing portion of Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inventory. The Shahed 131 is mainly utilized for reconnaissance missions and is well-known for its surveillance capabilities.
The Shahed 136 is thought to be a more sophisticated version, capable of longer missions and performing both combat and surveillance duties. It may also have a larger range and payload capacity.
