Russian troops have not used Iranian Shahed drones 

for strikes on the territory of Ukraine

for almost a month .

Probably, the occupiers are waiting for a new batch of drones, or they are holding them for a new attack.

This opinion was expressed by the spokesman of the Air Force Command, Yuriy Ignat, in a comment on Channel 24.

According to him, the Russians launched 45 drones on New Year's Eve, 39 on the night of January 2, and 24 on January 16.

"Out of these three attacks, one hundred percent of the drones were shot down. The enemy did not use them again in any of the directions. This suggests that the Russians have saved some part or are waiting for the next batch," Ignat says.

According to him, the Ukrainian military has information that the aggressor of the Russian Federation plans to build a factory for the production of drones on its territory somewhere deep in the country.

"The Russians want to establish the production of Iranian drones, this is another threat, because the governments of these countries do not give up their plans for further cooperation," the representative of the Air Force explained.

It will be recalled that the Ukrainian GUR reported that 

Russia will receive a new batch of drones from Iran in the near future

.

What amount is unknown.

So far, the Russian Federation has already used about 660 drones.

According to the contract with Tehran, 1,750 units are provided.
