2022-10-15


Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail has details:
  • Up to 50 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps specialists sent to the frontline with hundreds of drones

  • Have been sent to train Moscow's forces in how to operate Shahed-136 drones

  • A Ukrainian source said at least one of the Iranian training teams has been hit
It comes as a strike using the Iranian-made 'suicide drones' near Makrariv, a small city located 31 miles west of Kyiv, yesterday destroyed critical infrastructure and sent rescue workers rushing to the scene.

Despite denials from the Iranian regime that their forces are getting involved in the conflict, IRGC troops have reportedly been based in Dzankoi in Crimea and Kherson in the south, where one team has already been destroyed.

A Ukrainian source told the newspaper: 'At least one of the Iranian training teams has been hit recently and they are actively being hunted down.

'We have been concerned for some time that IRGC specialists are helping Russia in their terrible attacks on civilians and they are of course being targeted.'
