Iran is getting upgraded drones from Moscow amid Middle East tensions, officials say
U.S. and European officials have told The Associated Press that Russia is sending a shipment of drones to Iran including upgraded versions of the drone technology that Tehran originally supplied to Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine. The European official said the two sides have been holding active discussions throughout March about transferring the drones from Russia to Iran. It's not clear if the delivery is a one-time shipment or the first in a series. And the officials say they don't know the number of drones being sent. The Kremlin has denied the reports. The officials say the upgraded drones could carry more advanced anti-jamming technology, cameras, or use satellite internet.
