The United States warns that after the completion of the construction of the Shahed drone factory in Russia, it could have a significant impact on the war in Ukraine.
Analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency told a small group of journalists during a briefing on Friday, CNN reports.
According to them, the UAV manufacturing plant, which is currently under construction, is expected to provide Russia with a new "orders of magnitude larger" supply of drones than what it has been able to purchase from Iran so far.
As analysts warn, Iran regularly ships equipment to Russia to help build the plant, which is likely to be completed early next year.
