New Delhi, 21 October 2022

As per news report of BBC, the Iranians are trainers and tech support workers, a US spokesman said. The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, deployed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made. The UK has announced sanctions on Iranian businesses and individuals responsible for supplying the drones. "We assess that Iranian military personnel were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations," White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters. A "relatively small" number of Iranians are providing technical support and Russians are piloting the drones in Ukraine, he said.
