Yuriy Ihnat, the spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has said he does not rule out that Russia can receive from Iran not only the Shahed UAV but also the Mohajer-6, as cooperation between Tehran and Moscow in this direction continues.

He said this during the nationwide United News telethon, Ukrinform reports.

"The enemy constantly receives attack UAVs from Iran, no one doubts it. This can be seen from the regular flights of military transport planes from Tehran to Moscow, as well as transportation, probably by sea through the Caspian Sea. These are Astrakhan and Makhachkala, which are ready to receive Iranian cargo without any problems. Therefore, the question is what amount Iran is ready to provide to Russia in the future and whether it will be done in another way, and how Russia will manufacture them - on its territory or on the territories of other states. After all, Iran's cooperation with Moscow continues, not only Shahed, maybe other types of UAVs will be delivered to the territory of the occupying state, such as Mohajer-6, for example," Ihnat said.

According to him, at the same time, international partners announce aid packages for Ukraine, which refer to various types of support, including those related to air defense. They do not inform about the exact number, so as not to disclose information to the enemy.

"Of course, we depend on these supplies. You see the intensity of air battle," he added.
