JUST IN: Iran gave Russia its Shahed drones. Russia improved them in Ukraine. Now Western intelligence says Russia is shipping the upgraded versions back to Iran.

And the country that learned how to kill those drones on the battlefield just sent 228 experts to the Gulf to teach five countries how to do the same thing.

The full circle is extraordinary.

Iran supplied thousands of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to Russia starting in 2022 for use against Ukraine. Russia rebranded them Geran-2 and, over three years of combat, upgraded the navigation systems, added anti-jamming capabilities, improved the engines, and refined the payload delivery. The Financial Times and AP reported on March 26 citing Western intelligence that Russia is now in the final stages of shipping those upgraded Geran-2 drones back to Iran’s IRGC, along with medicine and food supplies. Kremlin spokesman Peskov called the reports “lies” and “fake news dumps.”

Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on March 26 for an unannounced visit, met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed a defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and drone expertise, and departed Jeddah on March 28. Ukraine has deployed 201 to 228 military drone specialists to five Gulf and Middle Eastern countries: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Another 34 are ready per Zelensky’s statement on March 17.

These specialists are not there as a symbolic gesture. They bring the single most effective counter to Shahed drones that exists anywhere on earth.

Ukraine developed FPV interceptor drones that account for roughly 70 percent of all Shahed and Geran-2 shootdowns in Ukraine per Forces News and Atlantic Council reporting. The method: radar and acoustic sensors detect the incoming drone at 20 to 50 kilometres. A cheap, fast quadcopter or fixed-wing interceptor launches from a mobile platform. An operator pilots it at high speed toward the target. It destroys the Shahed through kamikaze collision or a small explosive payload on impact. Cost per intercept: a fraction of what a surface-to-air missile costs. Militarnyi reported on March 22 that Ukrainian teams have already confirmed multiple Shahed shootdowns in the Middle East.

The arms race running through this war is now a closed loop.

Iran builds the drone. Russia tests it, improves it, and allegedly sends the improved version back. Ukraine learns to kill it through three years of battlefield iteration. Ukraine exports that knowledge to the Gulf states Iran is attacking. The Gulf states pay Ukraine in money, technology, and diplomatic support. Russia denies everything while the drones fly in both directions.

This is not a bilateral conflict. It is a global drone ecosystem where every improvement by one side is studied, countered, and re-exported by the other. The Shahed that hits a refinery in Bahrain tonight may carry Russian-upgraded navigation. The interceptor that destroys it may be piloted by a Ukrainian operator trained in Zaporizhzhia. The defense deal that funded the deployment was signed in Jeddah while the war it was designed to address raged 1,500 kilometres to the northeast.

SpaceX’s Starlink provides the communications backbone for these teams in contested environments where terrestrial networks are degraded by the same war. The same helium shortage threatening semiconductor fabs and quantum computers is threatening the rocket launches that put Starlink satellites in orbit. The same strait carrying the oil carries the data cables that the drones are trying to protect.

Every domain connects through the same 39 kilometres of water.

I'm honestly curious, is there ever a worthless army than the Lebanese Armed Forces in History?

Maybe you think Hezbollah is popular in Lebanon.

Many see Hezbollah for what it is a tool of Iran to attack Israel. The Iranian ambassador was even declared personal non grata. This would never had happened assuming Hezbollah were still strong.


Below is the logo of Hezbollah and the IRGC.


Iran itself has often boasted in the past that it has created a Axis of fire around Israel in preparation for the day they would liberate al quds ( Jerusalem)

⚡2 of the recent missiles targeting Israel were launched from the Yazd Kouhestan Site in central Iran, while another was launched from the site near Damavand, northern Iran.

The Yazd Kouhestan Site has been getting hit practically daily by US and Israeli airstrikes, but yet it retains the ability to regularly launch ballistic missiles.
physics is undefeated

Nope it won't after this war Iran on its own would never be able to threaten Israel.


Iran will become Syria and Lebanon in the Sense that if Iran misbehave Israel will just fly a jet over and give the treatment Hezbollah has been receiving since after agreeing to the ceases fire agreement. They will blow up stuff at will and Iran won't be able to give a significant reply.

Just shut up at this point.
There is no reasonable person on planet earth you will tell that a country that has at least a millionaire in 12 adults has a homelessness crisis. The millionaires don't have houses?🤡🤡
You want to tell me millionaires are sleeping on sidewalks? Millionaires are sleeping on the streets?
We are talking US here, not your bandit infested north.
I believe he is correct on America having a crisis of homeless people. More than half a million people sleep on the streets in the US every night.


It's an eyesore on their major cities very noticeable in New York and Las Vegas you'd be so shocked when you see them .

Although homelessness in almost non existent in their country side and Small Towns

And where will Israel launch these strikes from? Gabon?

Israel needs bases with lots of jets to launch any airstrikes, Iran just needs any empty space.

The second they strike Iran, Iran would strike the base it was conducted from.

And if it goes on for too long, Israel will become inhabitable.

Iran is at least 60 times larger than Israel and they have more missiles than Israel. Isreal would be flattened like Gaza.

Israel will look worse than a demolition site.

⚡Three young U.S. soldiers allegedly threw 20–30 illegal fireworks at passing cars on a federal road in Bavaria.

Police stopped them after a 20 km chase near Grafenwöhr and found more illegal fireworks and smuggled e-cigarette liquids.

They were handed over to U.S. military police.

⚡The permanent passage of Israeli ships through the strait will be banned, for all of history, under our management."

An Iranian representative confirms full consensus across government, military, and top system levels: the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status.

Legislation being finalized includes:

▪️ Transit & pilotage tolls on all vessels
▪️ Pollution levies
▪️ Mandatory "Persian Gulf" designation for transiting ships
▪️ Permanent Israeli shipping ban

Full details to be released after parliamentary approval.

⚡France has refused to give India access to key software (source codes) of the Rafale, limiting India’s ability to independently modify critical systems like radar, mission computer, and electronic warfare.

This affects India’s plan to boost self-reliance, as it would need French approval for upgrades or integrating indigenous weapons like Astra or BrahMos.

I'm not understanding you and the correlation with Hezbollah.

The main duty of an army is to protect their country from external aggression. The first of that is to protect the national borders from invasion.
The LAF is not doing anything remotely close to such.

They control the border and when their country gets invaded, they withdraw. If the Israelis advance, they withdraw further. All these while the soldiers of the LAF are being killed themselves.

I don't think any army in history has ever been that useless. What then is the duty of the LAF?
