Elite Iranian troops 'secretly enter frontline in Ukraine to help Russia's horror blitz'

Elite troops from Iran have 'secretly entered the frontline in Ukraine to help Russia's horror blitz', according to reports.
The Daily Mirror have revealed that up to 50 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps specialists have been deployed to train Moscow’s forces in how to operate “Kamikaze drones.” Armed with hundreds of Shahed-136 drones which have been hammering Ukrainian cities, the troops were reportedly sent to the southern and eastern front.
And it is suspected that in some attacks they controlled the flight path and targeting by the Shahed-136 drone teams. It comes amid growing concerns in the Kremlin that President Vladimir Putin’s brutal war machine is failing and running out of missiles.
Ukrainian artillery and drone teams have recently destroyed one Shahed-136 base in southern Ukraine, according to Kyiv sources. Putin’s senior commanders signed up the IRGC troops despite repeated denials from the Iranian regime that they are involved.
They have been based in Dzankoi in Crimea and Kherson in the south, where one IRGC team has already been destroyed. One Ukrainian military source told the Daily Mirror: “At least one of the Iranian training teams has been hit recently and they are actively being hunted down.
“We have been concerned for some time that IRGC specialists are helping Russia in their terrible attacks on civilians and they are of course being targeted.”
The Shahed-136 drones are 11ft-long, can travel at 100mph and carry am explosive warhead in the nose which can be devastating when fired. These systems can also be carried on the back of a fast moving vehicle so launch sites can be swiftly changed after opening fire.

Russia appoints former Chechen war, Syria commander to lead flagging Ukraine campaign
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has appointed a new commander to the armed forces in Ukraine as Moscow looks to turn around its dwindling fortunes. General of the Army Sergei Surovikin will take over as Commander of the Joint Group of Russian Forces in Ukraine effective immediately, drawing on experience from the second Chechen war and campaigns in Syria and Tajikistan, Russian outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported. Surovikin previously held command of the Southern group in June and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2017. His Chechen war experience, where he led the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division, will draw scrutiny as a campaign rife with accusations of war crimes and human rights violations and marked by its brutality. Russian troops in 2004 raided a school in the rural community of Beslan after a three-day standoff with Chechen militants, with 330 of the 1,100 hostages – mostly children – killed.

China still benefits from Russia relationship, even with international reputation at risk: experts
China still has much to gain from its current relationship with Russia even as the invasion of Ukraine drags on, turning Russia into an international pariah and threatening to rub off on China’s reputation as well. "China has, in effect, doubled down on its support for the Putin war effort, and we saw this, for instance, last month when China's third rank leader went to Moscow, spoke to the State Duma, and in very clear terms, expressed Beijing's support for Russia," Gordon Change, author of "The Coming Collapse of China," told Fox News Digital. "Then, [we] see Jinping himself when he was in Uzbekistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, actually confirmed that endorsement," Chang added. "The only conclusion that we can come to is that Beijing is not backing away from Russia." The China and Russia dynamic has remained a troubling one for the United States since even before the invasion of Ukraine started in March 2022.
