Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and Israel as “battlefield laboratories” to probe at Western military vulnerabilities, experts told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee Wednesday.

“Together, Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and the Middle East as battlefield laboratories to improve their weapons and develop techniques to overcome U.S. and allied defensive systems,” Dana Stroul, director of research at the Washington Institute, told lawmakers at a hearing on the “Despotic Duo.”

“Iran is extracting from Russia lessons in combined strike packages as well as insights into the strengths and weaknesses of Western-origin air and missile defense systems,” Stroul said in her written statement.

    Alright… And what about US sponsoring every single war out there, including Israel and Ukraine?

    I am more inclined to say that Russia and Iran are responding on US battlefield laboratories. Afterall, this wars are happening mainly because US cannot live in peace with other countries, always plotting coups everywhere

      Since becoming independent in 1776, the US of A has known only 15 years of peace, they’re definitely the biggest warmongers that ever existed.
