    I don’t really see the misleading part in the headline myself. While China and Russia undoubtedly help Iran, it seems that Iranians are perfectly capable to inflict massive damage on the empire using their own technical capabilities. While Ukraine is a western proxy entirely dependent on its western masters, Iran has its own deep technological and industrial base. It’s worth remembering that it was Iran that originally did a technology transfer of their drone technology to Russia rather than the other way around.

      You keep misunderstanding me.

      Iran is deploying the exact same anti-air defense strategies that were developed on the battlefield of Ukraine.

      That is smart, they we’re not trying to not reinvent the wheel.

      But it also means that the headline is misleading as it was not them who developed the strategy, or “figured” it out.

      It’s just a bad headline, which I was calling attention to, but it’s not something I would normally devote multiple comments to, so this is my last one.

        Ok that’s fair, what Iran is doing is very similar to Russia’s approach of launching combination of drones and missiles to overwhelm Ukrainian defences.
