>>105979634>what is /k/'s take on trade of these drones between iran and russiaNo longer exists. Russia bought an unknown number of Shaheds and support for them for about ~250k a drone (there was a leak) in exchange for gold and fighter jets. Iran was payed with 2 tons of gold plus a promise of Sukhoi fighters. They got the gold but Russia reneged on the jets.
Now Iran is switching to Chinese jets (some already delivered) and, we can assume, will never buy anything from Russia ever again.
All new lawnmowers being launched from Russia into Ukraine are assumbled in Russia (Yalabuga, Tatarstan) with zero Iranian input (92% Chinese parts, 8% Russian-made). They launch them from the back of pickup trucks.
But we still call them Shaheds because it causes the resident zigger shills to seethe.
