back in the cold war days, trying to say that "it was weapons used by russians" to justify accusing the russians of doing it would not have worked, for a simple reason: russian weapons are all over the world, and could have been acquired anywhere. they are iranian drones, which means that even more places it could have been from, not only russians buying them, but many others not necessarily even russian allies.

Means it could also be Russians. They also know how to redirect the drones. Or the USA.
