The Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine photo of Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones
The HESA Shahed-136 is made by the government of Iran.
HESA: “the Aerospace Industries Organization, is an Iranian state-owned corporation” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Aviation_Industries_Organization “The HESA Shahed 136 (Persian: شاهد ۱۳۶, literally “Witness-136”), also known as its Russian designation Geran-2 (Russian: Герань-2, literally “Geranium-2”), is an Iranian loitering munition autonomous swarm pusher-prop aerial drone in service since 2021, developed by HESA. At its core, it is designed to neutralize ground targets from a distance. The drone is fired in multiples from a ready launch rack (in batches of five upwards) and is designed to evade air defenses and overwhelm ground targets, consuming systems during the attack. The drone was revealed in December 2021 through published footage. The system is believed to first have been actively deployed to Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen,[3] before being actively used by the Russian Army during their invasion of Ukraine, from September 2022.[4][5]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Shahed_136

If you support Russia, you are supporting Iran. They are allies and both members of the Shanghai Cooperation Org (SCO).
