As quoted by Fox News on Sunday, October 16, 2022, members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) may have traveled to Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine to help train Russian troops. The United States decided on the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

Unmanned aircraft have been in use since World War II. Drones are aircraft that are assisted independently and used for reconnaissance and monitoring. They can interfere on the battlefield by deciding the target of the onslaught, and can directly drop or fire the gun.

As quoted by Kanal News Asia, the Shahed-136 unmanned aircraft used by Russia is counted in the air weapons group known as "munitions roam". Unmanned aircraft of this type are commonly mentioned as "drone kamikaze" or "suicide". They have the power to wait around the target place until instructed to fly to the target and attack.

That type of drone has been used since 2021. The UK Ministry of Defence claims the achievement of this type of drone is 2,500 km.

Last September, Ukrainian military Nataliya Houmeniouk explained Shahed-136 was hard to know because flying is low. But they are noisy like chainsaws or scooters, which means they can be listened to remotely. He added that although the effectiveness is low, they give psychic emphasis on citizens.

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces Facebook page, Russia changed the name of the drone to Geranium-2.
