Russia’s use of Iranian-made unmanned drones in its war against Ukraine is forcing Israel to step up its own defenses against such weapons, as analysts warn that Ukraine is a testing ground for a future Iranian war against Israel.
Since the first Iranian combat drones arrived in Russia in August 2022, Russian forces have launched hundreds of them from long distances, targeting vital Ukrainian infrastructure, including electricity and water facilities. Although Ukrainians have shot down up to 80 percent of the drones, enough of them hit their targets, leaving hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians without power.
