Debris from an Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drone that was used to attack the UK RAF Akrotiri air base in Cyprus may have contained a Russian Kometa-M anti-jamming receiver.

Details: Clash Report said that the same system is used on Russian drones and missiles that attack Ukraine, which could indicate possible reverse technology transfers between Iran and Russia.

Quote: "A Russian anti-jamming 'Kometa-M' receiver was reportedly found in the wreckage of an Iranian Shahed-136 drone that targeted the UK's Akrotiri Air Base in Cyprus."

Background:

  • The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed on 2 March that the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri in Cyprus had been attacked by an Iranian drone.
  • The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office later added that the strike had been aimed at the runway.
