Details: The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defence Ministry has released an interception of conversations of the Russian occupiers during the mass attack on Ukrainian territory by Shahed kamikaze drones on 10 February.

Quote: "This is a short dialogue between two Shahed drone operators who specify the coordinates of the target. In doing so, the interlocutors communicate in a dialect of the Kurdish language interspersed with words in Farsi.

That is, the command of the occupying forces involves not only Iranian instructors who teach Russians how to use drones in attacks on the territory of Ukraine. This interception may indicate that Kurdish mercenaries with combat experience in the use of Shaheds are also fighting on the Ruscist side.

During their operations in Syria, Russian troops have already engaged armed units consisting of Kurdish and Afghan mercenaries."
