EXCLUSIVE: Russia flew 140 million euros and a selection of captured UK and US weapons to Iran in return for dozens of deadly drones for its war in Ukraine, a security source has told @SkyNews

A Russian aircraft secretly transported the cash and 2 models of munition - a British NLAW anti-tank missile, a US Javelin anti-tank missile & a Stinger anti-aircraft missile - to an airport in Tehran in the early hours of 20 August, the source said speaking anonymously.

The weapons had been part of a shipment of UK and US military equipment intended for the Ukrainian military that "fell into Russian hands", according to the source.

The source said they could give Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) the ability to study Western technology and potentially copy it. "They will probably be reverse-engineered and used in future wars," the source said.

For its part, Iran supplied Russia with more than 160 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including 100 Shahed-136 drones, the source claimed. These have been nicknamed "suicide drones" because they explode on impact.

The source alleged that a further drone deal worth €200m (£174m) had been agreed between Tehran and Moscow in the past few days.

"That means there will be another big supply of UAVs from Iran soon," the source said.

The Iranian and Russian governments were approached for a response to the allegations.

Peg-Legged-Pegov outside Pavlivka. There was a video with a flag on a building, but for all I know, it could be the very first house in Pavlivka. It would not be the first time the Russians try to fake a victory

1/12 Since the announced withdrawal of 🇷🇺forces, it is time to have an in-depth look into how they want to get their troops & equipment across the river.During the past months have setup an elaborate system of ferry's crossing the Dnipro river. At least 8 ferry's have been active

2/12 These ferry's and multiple barges have been operating continuesly, first there objective was to supply troops on the west-side of the river, since last week that changed, we have seen columns of vehicles move the other direction.

3/12 In the kherson city area, there were 3 main ferry points, one is located near the Antonovskyyi railbridge near Pridniprovsky, near the ferry loading site, mil. vehicles could be seen waiting the last couple of days. a bit further away 🇷🇺 established a rallypoint.

4/12 where multiple mil. vehicles including trucks & armored vehicles were waiting for the ferry to arrive, we think that upon arrival of the ferry they would start driving up directly on to the ferry, to avoid being a target for 🇺🇦 artillery they would take off immediately.
