No,
Russia has not stopped sending Shahed-type drones to Iran; rather, the
dynamic has reversed. After setting up domestic manufacturing for the
Shahed (known as the Geran), Russia began shipping upgraded and jet-powered versions of these drones back to Iran.
While
Iran originally supplied the baseline drones to Moscow for the conflict
in Ukraine, Russia localized production (primarily in the Alabuga
Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan). Moscow heavily modified the Iranian
design—adding features like jet engines, better navigation, and
anti-jamming. Intelligence reports indicate that Russia is now supplying
these more advanced, Russian-made variants back to Iran for use in
Middle Eastern conflicts.
To track ongoing developments in this weapons transfer, refer to the UNITED24 Media Jet-Powered Drones Report and the official Wikipedia HESA Shahed 136 Entry for background on the original technology.
