The tweet claims that the Iranian drone  Mohajer-6 was launched to coordinate an attack on Odesa a few days ago. 

The Qods Mohajer-6 is an ISTAR UAV capable of carrying a multispectral surveillance payload and/or up to four precision-guided munitions.  It has a takeoff weight of 670 kg and carries a payload of 100 kg. The craft develops a speed of 200 km/h and can fly 12 hours to a distance of 200 km from the control panel. 

Recently, Iran displayed the Mohajer-6 during Army-2022, a Russian military exhibition. At that time, Iranian Foreign Minister Hosein Amir-Abdollahian rejected any drone deal with Russia and said Tehran avoids steps that can trigger further escalation in Ukraine. However, Iranian Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari said Iran was ready to sell drones to friendly countries.
