Iran was under sanctions, they needed quick cash for the weapons. They likely never thought the current war would come to be atleast not this soon.That is a lot of drones, that Iran could have used for itself ! That was a mistake. Pakistan made a similar mistake when it gave ammunition to Ukraine, which depleted Pakistan stocks. I dont know if Pakistan has been able to recover those stock levels yet.
Iran-Russia relationship was very transactional, even if Russia wasn't bogged down in Ukraine i doubt they would've entered the war on behalf of Iran.
Russia is not the USSR, different entities different political goals.
