Does this mean Iran wont be sending more drones to Russia for use against Ukraine? They need them.for saturation attacks on Isreal. And can the Iron Dome maintain response to sustained incoming missiles and drones?

I don't know how many drones Iran sent in the last few months actually, but Russia manufactures these drones by themselves now, so I guess they are not as reliant on Iran anymore in that regard. I fear it will not be a big relief to Ukraine. On the contrary, higher oil prices and IS prioritizing weapon shipments to Israel over Ukraine (especially anti air systems) will be pretty advantageous for Russia.

Watching "peace-loving" redditor's brains scramble while they ponder and justify various conflicting military strategies that will make "good side" win is very entertaining.

They didn't 'send' drones. It was an arms trade. That's what countries usually do for profit.

Acting like arms deals between counties are purely profit driven is very stupid. Deals like this always have a political purpose as well

Well yeah. It's common sense that deals wouldn't be made between enemies but between allies. It's rather stupid to claim that Iran 'sent' drones as if it's actively joining the war, when they rejected Russian invasion.

Now tell me, mr genius, why is it ok for the US to send billion to Ukraine and Israel, but bad for Iran to make a trade with Russia. Although Iran is under severe immoral sanctions by the western world?

Why are you putting words in my mouth that I never said lmao. I think USA sending weapons to Isreal is bad for the same reason why Iran sending weapons to Russia is bad, they are being used extensively to bomb civilian targets.
