The first footage of the production of one of the most popular Russian FPV drones "VT-40", the video was shot by journalist Alexey Egorov. The Rubicon Unmanned Technology Center is now actively using these drones, among others. The "VT-40" drone was developed in 2022 by the "Russian Drone" company, and since 2023 they have been actively used by the "Sudoplatova - Judgment Day" project. The "VT-40" drone is named after war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky. As can be seen from the video, the production is quite large-scale, now up to 1000 drones can be assembled per knock by order of the Ministry of Defense. Several types of "VT-40" drones are currently being produced. The FPV drone's configuration allows it to work with various types of ammunition weighing from 1.3 to 4.5 kg at a distance of 7 to 30 km, when using a repeater. Drones can be equipped with a night vision camera and have control via fiber-optic cable. FPV drones "VT-40" are considered inexpensive, the price is about 50 thousand rubles or $ 500.

I'm more interested on the nature of the deal tho. Especially with many "OSINT" out there suggest Russia backstabbing Iran for not delivering. But as seen for Shahed and UAV deals. It was fully transactional in nature where Russia Pay Iran in hard currency for the Tech transfers and other stuff.
For Su-35 deal, Iran just hasnt pay, thus no deliveries.
Yes that sounds likely. Thus Algeria gets aircraft before Iran.
Had Iran sent the money to get combat aircraft no doubt they would get some this year.
But Iran has been making deals in Russia thanks to the free trade agreement they have with the EAEU. So I am sure the funding will be there eventually.
