The Russians disguise the Shahed-136 UAV as motor boats
Russians disguise Shahed-136 kamikaze drones in documentation as motor boats. The data was made public by hackers who hacked the invaders’ servers.
Hacker group Prana Network hacked the mail servers of the Iranian company IRGC Sahara Thunder, “Militarnyi” ports.
The servers stored an array of data on the production of Shahed-136 attack drones for Russia.
Sahara Thunder is a shell company of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which facilitates the illegal sale of weapons from Iran to the Russian Federation.
So, the drones in the documents are coded as “Dolphin 632 type motor boat”. According to the data, Russia planned to release 6,000 Iranian drones at its facilities within 2.5 years.
The starting price for one drone is $375,000. During the negotiations, the countries agreed on a price of $193,000 per drone (when ordering 6,000 units) or $290,000 (when ordering 2,000 units).
The total cost of the contract for the production of 6,000 drones, including the transfer of technology and equipment, is $1.75 billion.
USM previously reported that the US Armed Forces destroyed two Yemeni Houthi kamikaze naval drones in the Red Sea.
