In another summary, the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that to master the use of "Shahid-136" drones, Russian troops may have transferred Iranian servicemen associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian data, Russian troops brought Iranian instructors (their exact number is unknown) to Crimea and Kherson region.
The IRGC is likely the leading operator of Iranian drones, so the Iranian instructors are most likely IRGC employees or affiliates.
