Since February 15, there have been no reports of Russia using Iran's unilateral attack aircraft (UAV) in Ukraine.

APA reports that this was stated in the information of the Intelligence Service of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.

The Intelligence Service said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down at least 24 Shahed-136 UAVs between the end of January and the beginning of February 2023.

"The lack of use of UAVs probably indicates that Russia's current stockpile has been depleted. Russia will probably seek supplies," the British Ministry of Defense Intelligence Service said.

While these weapons may not be entirely successful in destroying their intended targets, Russia is likely using them as useful tools to distract Ukraine's air defenses from more effective Russian cruise missiles, the report said.
