Russia Is Sharing Imagery and Drone Technology With Iran
March 17, 2026 at 3:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Russia has been expanding its intelligence sharing and military cooperation with Iran, providing satellite imagery and improved drone technology to aid Tehran’s targeting of U.S. forces in the region,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Russia is trying to keep its closest Middle Eastern partner in the fight against U.S. and Israeli military might and prolong a war that is benefiting Russia militarily and economically.”

“The technology provided includes components of modified Shahed drones, which are meant to improve communication, navigation and targeting… Russia has also been drawing on its experience using drones in Ukraine, offering tactical guidance on how many drones should be used in operations and what altitudes they should strike from.
