; sense of Congress (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Iran has a robust unmanned aerial system program under which Iran operates several unmanned aerial systems, including combat drones, drones capable of conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and suicide or kamikaze drones. (2) As of December 2022, Iran reportedly supplied more than 1,700 unmanned aerial systems to the Russian Federation, including several hundred of the Shahed–136 suicide drone.
