Russia Has Nearly Run Out of Drones as Stock 'Exhausted'--U.K.

Russia is close to exhausting its current stockpile of Iranian-manufactured drones, Britain's defense ministry assessed on Wednesday.

The ministry said in its daily intelligence update on the war in Ukraine that nearly 10 months into the conflict, Russia has nearly drained its inventory of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) manufactured in Iran and will likely seek to procure more.

Since September, Russia has likely launched hundreds of the weapons to attack Ukraine, largely targeting tactical military targets and the Ukrainian electricity grid, as well as medical facilities, according to the intelligence report.

It was referring to a barrage of attacks launched by Russia against Ukraine starting in October after an an explosion caused the partial collapse of a key bridge connecting Russia to Crimea, damaging an important supply route for Russia's forces.

Without a new source for chips, Russia will not be able to replace these weapons
