ussia began to face major problems with Shahed drones after Israel’s attack on Iran. Recall, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed that its aerospace commander, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed in an Israeli air strike on a command facility.
Hajizadeh was sanctioned by the European Union in 2022 for overseeing Tehran’s supply of Shahed-type drones to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine, which have become a key component of Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
He played a central role in advancing Iran’s drone and missile capabilities, meeting with then-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in 2023 to showcase Iranian weapons.
Along with North Korea, Iran has been a key ally to Russia during its full-scale war against Ukraine, providing thousands of Shahed strike drones and short-range ballistic missiles.
The drones, cheap and packed with explosives, have become a central weapon in Russia’s aerial assaults on Ukraine since their introduction in late 2022.
Known for flying long distances before slamming into targets, they are now mass-produced by Russia and launched in near-nightly waves to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.
Iran has been one of Russia’s key allies during the course of the full-scale invasion, second only to that of North Korea.
Russia’s default weapon for its near-nightly barrages of Ukrainian cities are variations of the Iranian-designed Shahed drone, imported versions of which first appeared in Ukraine’s skies in October 2022.
Since then, attacks have only escalated and recent mass strikes have seen nearly 500 Shahed-type drones launched per night.
Events in Iran to have an effect on Russia’s ability to launch mass drone strikes.
But Russia has set up factories on its own territory to produce Iranian Shahed drones under license.
Samuel Bendett, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, said most if not all Shahed-type drones used by Russia are now domestically produced, "so the Israeli attack on Iran is not going to disrupt whatever flows used to exist."
But Russia may have difficulty obtaining newer versions of the Shahed that it doesn’t yet mass produce domestically, such as the Shahed 238 which is a turbojet powered model that can fly much faster than previous versions.
A more unknown quantity are the Iranian ballistic missiles reportedly delivered to Russia late last year.
