The Russian Federation has resumed strikes on Ukraine with Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones thanks to a new batch but uses them more sparingly, Ukrayinska Pravda has reported, quoting a representative of the Defence Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, as saying on the air of the national telethon.
"Yes, this is a new batch, but compared to the initial massive use of Shaheds, it is obviously smaller." We are not commenting on the quantity now, but we see that, for example, during yesterday's massive terrorist missile strikes, Shaheds were not used. All other available means, all missile weapons were used," Yusov said.
Regarding Iranian-made ballistic missiles, Yusov noted that the intelligence is aware of the preliminary agreements between Russia and Iran and the extraordinary efforts made by Moscow to obtain these missiles. However, as of now Russia has not received them yet.
