Eu Ministers Will Consider A Visa Ban For Russian Tourists Among Other Measures

The Russians picked up the drones from an Iranian airport earlier this month and flew them back to Russia on cargo planes in mid-August, the officials said. Russian officials began training on the drones in Iran late last month, CNN previously reported, and the U.S. now believes Russia has officially purchased and transferred the Mohajer-6 and Shahed series drones — the Shahed -129 and Shahed-191 — back to Russia, possibly for use in the Ukraine war. Both types of UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are capable of carrying precision-guided munitions and can be used for surveillance. Russian operators are still training on the drones inside Iran, the officials said, and the US believes Russia plans to import hundreds of them to use for air-to-ground attacks, electronic warfare and targeting inside Ukraine. The introduction of Iranian drones could have a significant impact on the battlefield as Russia tries to mitigate the impact of the high-mobility artillery missile systems (HIMARS) that the US and its allies have provided to Ukraine. HIMARS have a range of 49 miles and have allowed Ukraine to attack targets behind Russian front lines. U.S. intelligence officials believe, however, that when tested, many of the drones Russia has bought from Iran have already suffered multiple failures, so it’s unclear how game-changing they will be when deployed. The Washington Post first reported that the drones had been moved to Russia. The Biden administration began warning in July that Russia was trying to buy the drones amid acute supply shortages due to the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions that have hampered new production efforts.
Satellite images revealed that month that a Russian delegation had visited an airport in central Iran at least twice since June to examine weapons-capable drones. News of the drone deliveries comes as the Biden administration has expressed subdued optimism about a possible deal to revive the Iran nuclear deal. Critics of the deal say a new deal would result in sanctions relief for Iran — and in turn, an economic windfall that could enable Iran’s malign activities across the region and beyond. from her. White House officials insisted, however, that the decision to rejoin the nuclear deal should be based only on the need to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and should not be influenced by Iranian actions outside of their nuclear range. program.
