In particular, we are talking about digital surveillance.
Russia is helping Iran expand its digital surveillance capabilities. In exchange, he receives kamikaze drones and other weapons. This is stated in the material of The Wall Street Journal.
Iran has sold drones to Russia for use in Ukraine, agreed to provide Moscow with short-range missiles and sent tank and artillery shells to the battlefield, according to U.S. and Iranian officials. At the same time, Tehran is looking for cyber assistance – asking for dozens of elite Russian attack helicopters and jet fighters, as well as assistance in the long-range missile program.
Russia and Iran signed a cyber cooperation agreement two years ago, which analysts say focused mainly on cyber defense networks. In the past, Moscow has long resisted sharing digital offensive capabilities with Iran, fearing they would later be sold on the dark web. But since the start of the war, Russia has provided Iran with communications and surveillance equipment, as well as eavesdropping devices, advanced cameras and lie detectors, sources familiar with the matter said.
