The wreckage closely resembles the wing of a Mohajer-6 drone, which Iran manufactures, and Russia uses in the war.
"So-called 'head' of Crimea claimed yesterday that a 'Ukrainian army' drone was taken down in Crimea and posted a photo," he wrote.
"It seems they took down their own Iranian Mohajer-6 drone.
