The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has unveiled a new suicide drone that can fly into targets and detonate upon impact. IRGC also released a video showing the drone, that is inspired by Russia’s distinct X-winged Lancet series of loitering munitions. Meanwhile, a massive data leak from a Defense Ministry-linked Iranian company revealed information about Tehran's close cooperation with Moscow on suicide drones. The leak showed Russia has purchased at least 6,000 Shahed 136 drones since the war in Ukraine began. Iran in exchange received aid in setting up local drone production lines, while paying for these deals in part with several tons of gold ingots.
