Pentagon: No indications that Iranian training Russians in Belarus on use of drones

November 2, BPN. Iranian military advisors are not training Russians in Belarus to use drones, a senior defense official from the U.S. Department of Defense told journalists on November 1.

“We did have, you know, indications that Iranians were in Crimea supporting Russian drone operations. But as it pertains to Belarus, I’m not currently tracking anything like that, not on my end,” Pentagon’s press office quoted the official as saying.

In October, the Ukrainian military said that Russia had repeatedly attacked Ukraine from Belarus with Iranian Shahed suicide drones.

Earlier, Alaksandr Łukašenka admitted that Belarus participated in Russia’s war on Ukraine, but said it was “not killing anyone.”
