      Iran provided Russia with Shahed tech and expertise which has led to tons of destruction within Ukraine. Besides that, Ukraine needs funds; war is incredibly expensive. The Middle East nations they’re aiding are flush with cash.

      Aiding middle east nations has a host of benefits for Ukraine. Iran has been regularly helping Russia as well so it stands to reason they’d assist other nations against a common foe.

    Pretty impressive that they had the overcapacity to do that while the Russian Spring offensive was in full swing.

    Also impressive, although for opposite reasons: the ability of Russians to be sent to near-certain death for a year’s wages paid out to the widow or parents. I keep looking at my family and think, “I’d die for your life, but not so you can have a new car.”
