British intelligence reports that Iranian drones will not help Russia achieve its desired goals

This is reported in a UK intelligence report.

British intelligence officials say that Russia has been actively using Iranian drones since August this year. In addition, she used drones during massive attacks on Ukraine on October 10.

At the same time, the British military notes a number of shortcomings in Iranian drones called Shahid.

For example, they fly slowly and low, so they are easy to shoot down with conventional air defenses.

In addition, despite a claimed range of 2500 km, Shahed-136 has only a small explosive load. Therefore, it is difficult to use them for inflicting deep strikes on the rear, for which Russia acquired them.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that Ukraine has already shot down dozens of such drones, Iran still denies selling its drones to Russia.
