Russia sharing satellite imagery and drone technology with Iran – report

Russia has been expanding its intelligence sharing and military cooperation with Iran, providing satellite imagery and improved drone technology to aid Tehran’s targeting of US forces in the region, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Moscow is helping its ally Iran with the aim of dragging out the war, as it has economic and military benefits for Russia.

Sources, including a senior European intelligence officer, said Russia has been supplying Iran with parts to modify Shahed drones, providing them with improved communications, navigation, and targeting capabilities. Shahed drones are made by Iran, but the Russians have their own domestically produced versions. The Russians have also been sharing their experience in using the weapons against Ukraine, with advice on how best to launch attacks with multiple drones.

Russia and Iran have long enjoyed close ties, and in January 2025, the two countries signed a strategic partnership agreement to further improve cooperation, including military and defense partnerships.

I would expect Russia to help Iran as much as it is able to, just like the west has aided Ukraine. It just means that Israel and the USA will need to be thorough in destroying all of Iran's military capability, including the people who have the knowledge to be able to reconstitute in areas like missiles, missile warheads, drone technology, etc.

I wonder, with all of the advancement in technology, including AI, if it would be possible to intercept Russia's intelligence being sent to Iran and modify the imagery and information before Iran gets it, and change it towards different locations and information than what Russia actually sent. It would have Iran like being on a wild goose chase

Here's an original idea , how about technology that can program missiles and UAVs mid-flight to return to sender.

Does this mean Russia's intelligence would "backfire", and Iran's missiles would strike Russia? That would be interesting
