Russia and China are working together to produce a version of Iran’s Shahed drone that could be used on the battlefields of Ukraine, European intelligence sources have said.

The drones themselves are still in the “test and development” phase, but have not yet been deployed in Ukraine, the sources told Bloomberg.
