Of course it is.

It is possible that kamikaze drones from the Shahed line purchased complete from Iran or assembled / made under an Iranian license went into battle yesterday?

.. They write the above picture is the remains of a previously unknown drone “Geran-2” that attacked Ukrainian positions in the western part of Kupyansk.

The numbering and appearance seem to be identical to those of the Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones.

These drones are very interesting. Small explosive flying around, and in one instant your truck is turned into scrap heap with all the inhabitants.
The loitering munition (aka kamikaze drones) RA has been using till now were mostly “Lancet”. I haven’t heard of any Geran’-2. Probably a fake.
Maybe they are renamed Shahids, indeed.
Anyway, having a weapon is better than not having it, and Iran makes good drones.
