LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 14: Tom Tugendhat, MP for Tonbridge, addresses guests while standing with the downed Iranian-made Shahed-136 attack drone, used by Russia in Ukraine, at the Houses of Parliament on October 14, 2025 in London, England. The event was organised by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a US-based organisation that aims to combat the threat of Iran's nuclear programme, and was intended to highlight the Iranian regime's role in Russia's aggression in Europe. The drone is the same weapon Russia has used to extensively against Ukraine, where Russia has allegedly deployed 38,000 drones in 2025 alone. Last month, Polish and NATO forces had to intercept different kinds of Russian drones - some of which appeared to be decoys - that entered Poland's airspace, which led Poland to trigger NATO's Article 4, underscoring the perceived threat to European security.
