11. Could be, but Iranians are pretty good with drones themselves.

That tech transfer was initially from Tehran to Moscow. Russians were fighting the last war, and badly, before Iranians stepped in to help. And Iran does have a space apparatus and likely surveillance sats of their own. Plus, decades of planning for this possible scenario. It's not like DC and Tel Aviv have been coy about their intentions of late. On the flip side, this may be a joint effort. Moscow would certainly enjoy watching us lose. But they have to be careful and not damage their orange intel asset too much.
