Analysing their innovations and integration into military doctrines is crucial for anticipating threats and developing countermeasures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Iran and Russia are strengthening their partnership through collaboration on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) development and deployment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Iran\u2019s drone programme presents a multifaceted challenge to NATO. The acquisition of Western technology through reverse engineering, coupled with Iran\u2019s growing reputation as a drone supplier, enhances its military capabilities and global influence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Russia\u2019s use of Iranian drones in Ukraine exposes vulnerabilities in NATO-provided defence systems and undermines eff orts to protect member states and partner countries. The proliferation of this technology to other state and non-state actors complicates NATO\u2019s defence strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template
