Woodward did not elaborate or specify on what, exactly, the military and technical support — or advanced components — might look like.The NBC report noted an example of recent support that Russia has provided to Iran, revealing that Iranian pilots traveled to Russia during the spring to train how to fly the Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jet.Woodward's comments come a few days after Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, the top US intelligence official, said that Russia is expending its munitions stockpiles faster than the country is able to replenish them.Britain's defense ministry said in a Friday intelligence update that if these reports are verified, then it is "likely" that Russia expended its previous stockpile of hundreds of Iranian-made drones and restarted its attacks with newly delivered systems from Iran.Beyond Iran's cooperation with Russia as it attacks Ukraine, US and Western officials have also expressed concerns about Iran's regional influence."
