One unnamed Western official said Tuesday that while Moscow has run out of the Iranian drones, it still anticipates “a resupply,” according to an ABC News report. The comments come amid a drop in usage for the deadly systems.

Yevgeny Silkin, a top Ukrainian military official, said recently that Russia had stopped using Iranian-made drones because they don’t work in cold weather, noting that they are constructed using plastic and other materials that are not resistant to frost.
