Quote: "The fact that Russia has applied for such help to Iran is the Kremlin's recognition of its military and political bankruptcy.
For decades, they spent billions of dollars on their military and industrial complex, and ended up bowing to Tehran to get rather simple drones and missiles. Strategically, it won't help them anyway."
Background: On 18 October, the first batch of Iranian-made drones for Russia consisted of 1,750 pieces; however, the Ukrainian anti-air gunners have shot down an estimated 70% of the drones that the Russian occupiers launched over Ukraine.
