Did Russia give information to Iran? Russian technology found in drone that hit

The suicide drone that struck a British base in Cyprus was equipped with Russian military technology, the Sunday Times reported. The attack took place on March 1 at RAF Akrotiri and is believed to have been carried out by Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon. British intelligence analysis suggests the drone was equipped with a Russian-made Kometa-B navigation system, a component previously used in drones captured by Ukrainian air defenses.

British experts confirm that Russia has provided Iran with information to aid attacks against US and British forces in the region, including the location of ships and aircraft. The British Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, stated that cooperation between Iran and Russia increases the capabilities and risk of their forces, stressing that British assets in Cyprus, including Wildcat helicopters, could be the target of future attacks.

The report raises serious concerns about Moscow's presence and influence in the Middle East and the use of Russian military equipment in regional conflicts.
