According to the Ukrainian Resistance Center, Russian forces on Wednesday “brought an unspecified number of Iranian instructors” to the town of Dzankoi in the annexed Crimea, as well as to Zalizniy Port and Hladivtsi in the Kherson region, southern Ukraine. The report claimed this personnel would teach Russian troops how to use Shahed-136 attack drones.

The center also stated that the “Iranian instructors directly control the launch of drones on civilian targets in Ukraine,” including towns in the regions of Odesa and Mykolaiv that have been heavily bombed in recent days after Moscow launched intensified airstrikes across Ukraine in response to the Crimea bridge blast.

“The IRGC is notably the primary operator of Iran‘s drone inventory, so these Iranian instructors are likely IRGC or IRGC-affiliated personnel,” the US-based Institute for the Study of War said in its daily assessment of the Russian offensive campaign on Wednesday.



I had feared their involvement... now I'm curious if they will teach the Russians how to set IED's in villages as the IRGC taught the Iraqi insurgents.

3. Stupid Iranians aiding a lost cause while their country burns

A resistance fueled by people who identify with the west, just as in Ukraine.

Interesting times.

4. Certainly ARE interesting times.

Within a matter of months the Iron Curtain has risen again...

And the new alliance of "Bad Guys" is playing out to be Russia, China, Iran, India, sometimes Turkey and a host of other disgruntled countries.

I'm starting to think November 2012 may be looked back upon as "Peak America"

Obama had just won term #2... economy was good... planet relatively peaceful and Trump was like #329th thing on peoples minds...

Cool as the other side of the pillow. In my entire life, I've never gone to sleep daily more confident that all would be OK in the morning... Obama has that way of instilling confidence and positivity.

5. Yes we may have lived through the US golden years.

After WWII, the world weary of war, there was a period of peace and prosperity.

But now we see that civilization is only a weak veneer over a dark underbelly.
Democracy is so very fragile.

And yes the Axis of Evil is coming into clarity.

13. What peace, there have been over 300 conflicts since the end of WWII.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Yes your point is taken. But not world war.

And now the world is heading in that direction.

[Dysfunctional]

15. I agree with you.

6. Last paragraph is absolutely spot on IMO. Obama was not a good president, he was a great president.

9. +1000 nt

[WarGamer]

[Irish_Dem]

11. I think so too.

12. Iran

How far the once mighty Russia has fallen, they now need military advisors from a 4th. rate power.
