A satellite image has appeared in the American press and is being actively replicated. According to the media, it is allegedly proof that in Russia, in Tatarstan, a certain plant is being built for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles-kamikaze using technologies developed by Iran.
Interestingly, this version is already being promoted by representatives of the US authorities. The White House coordinator for National Security Issues, John Kirby, said that this plant would begin its work in April 2024. According to the US administration, the Russian authorities are going to establish the production of Iranian-type drones on their territory.
Earlier, the American press reported that Iran allegedly supplies Russia with ready-made attack drones across the Caspian Sea. But Washington, of course, did not provide any evidence of this. The authorities of both Russia and Iran deny the facts of such deliveries.

Now the United States is expressing concern that Iran is allegedly transferring materials to Russia for the construction of an enterprise for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles. This, according to the US administration, can significantly strengthen Russia's capabilities for the production of UAVs and their subsequent use in the Ukrainian conflict.
In addition, Washington claims that Iran wants to sell hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, which Moscow will then allegedly use in a special military operation.
Another "fear" of the United States is the risk of Russia transferring certain military technologies and materials to Iran, which Tehran will already be able to use in its military production.
