Russia will be getting armed drones from Iran, for example. (They might then use them to counter the HIMARS rampage.)
They have also stuff from China, who can give them electronics and other modern technology to bypass the sanctions in exchange for raw resources.
Shitty iranian drones can't do shit to HIMARS. Existing Russian drones are already better than what Iran has.
The reason Russia is going to Iran is because Russian drones are being lost and breaking down thanks to heavy use, and they will eventually start to run out, so they are barrel scraping looking for replacements.
Chinese electronics are joke tier. China makes low end shit, not the high end shit used for military applications. China was still forced to import aircraft engines from Russia until recently because China was unable to build an aircraft engine - which is something Israel was able to do many decades ago.
Iranian are much better than Russian, who are lagging hilariously and always did. Especially their loitering munitions are second only to Israeli.
Russians also use Chinese civilian drones already.
I don't believe for a second that Iranian technology is impressive or high end in any way. Iran has long been a paper tiger that makes fake propaganda weapons.
They have extensively used these drones in Yemen and in the attacks on Saudi Arabia.
