Russia claimed to have shot down a Ukrainian drone over Crimea, but the wreckage appears to be that of a Russian Mohajer-6 drone. Ukrainian officials celebrated the apparent friendly fire incident as an embarrassing Russian mix-up. Russia's Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the incident.
Russia accidentally shot down an Iranian-made Mohajer-6 surveillance drone, which was operated by Moscow's own troops in Crimea. The incident was initially reported as an "enemy" drone being jammed, but later reports suggested it was a friendly-fire incident. Drones have played a significant role in Russian and Ukrainian wartime operations, with Russia using Iranian-made drones to target Ukraine's critical infrastructure. The British Defense Ministry said that Russia's recent use of drones against Ukraine is likely a strategy to force Ukraine to use up its supplies of advanced air defense missiles.
