Surely whatever factory is going to be making these wont be found out and set on fire or something /s
Russia is probably worse than Iran at producing anything, they're corrupt as all hell with shitty quality assurance. >

The fact that Russia needs Iranian drone designs is hilarious. >

Iran has been sanctioned for over 2 decades, I think all components are easy to find in the black market or to build, Iranian drones are probably the best bang for the buck in the entire world. Remember their attack on the Saudis a couple years back? Their missiles and drones made past two batteries of patriot. >

Reports are that all sorts of USA  tech is showing up in these drones.
It's not necessarily black market , but companies selling to a 3rd party who claims to be using it themselves but then sell it to Iran.
