Russia likely received resupply of Iranian Shahed-series kamikaze drones – British intel.
In its December 9 intelligence update, the British Defense Ministry suggests that Russia has received a resupply of the Iranian-made Shahed-131 and Shahed-136 kamikaze drones based on the fact that Russia once again used the UAVs to attack Ukrainian cities on 6 December after a long pause that lasted since 17 November.

The ministry tweeted:
- “For the first time in three weeks, there have been reports of attacks by Iranian-provided one-way attack (OWA) uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). These events remain to be verified, but it is likely that Russia exhausted its previous stock of several hundred Shahed-131s and 136s and has now received a resupply.”
- “On 06 December 2022, the Ukrainian General Staff reported shooting down 17 UAVs, including 14 Shahed-136s. On 07 December 2022, Ukrainian officials reported the use of Iranian-provided OWA UAVs targeting Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro oblasts.”
- “The last previously reported shooting down of Iranian Shahed-136s in Ukraine was on 17 November 2022. If verified, it is likely that Russia has recommenced attacks with newly delivered OWA UAV systems.”
