Defence analyst Robert Tollast of the Rusi think tank ... added that the long-running Iran alliance with Russia, which led to Tehran supplying Moscow with Shahed drones it now fires en masse into Ukraine, had considerably helped its military developments. Recent attacks on US airbases and key sites across the Gulf have highlighted Iranian capability to impact within metres of an intended target. That suggests a "dramatic improvement", Mr Tollast said, over earlier Iranian systems, which were inconsistent and had wide error margins.
