Russian occupiers used Iranian-made

drones

to strike Ukrainian cities for the first time in three weeks, likely because they modified the drones for colder weather.

This is stated in the report of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which was published today, December 8.

"Russian forces have probably modified the drones for use in colder weather conditions and will most likely use them increasingly in the coming weeks to strike Ukrainian critical infrastructure," the analysts write.

We will remind:

 On the night of December 7, 

Russia attacked Ukraine with Iranian attack drones

.

Ukrainian defenders managed 14 drones.

By the way, the occupiers used the drones after a three-week pause.

Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that Russian troops have not attacked Ukraine with Iranian

 kamikaze drones for more than three weeks,

which may indicate the end of these devices.

According to Pentagon estimates,

 Iran handed over several hundred of its drones to Russia

 for the war against Ukraine.
