Iran continues to use Chinese parts to manufacture drones, which Russia then uses in its war against Ukraine.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
It is noted that China continues to supply the necessary parts to the manufacturers of Iranian drones, although the United States is trying to prevent this and cut off the global supply chain.
The publication notes that Iran needs approximately three months to produce and supply drones to Russia, which it will then use for terrorist attacks in Ukraine.
This spring, Western researchers studied the components of Iranian drones and concluded that one of its parts was Chinese-made and manufactured this year. We are talking about a voltage converter that could be produced in China in January.
The British group Conflict Armament Research noted that this is the first case of detection of a Chinese part in 2023. This study shows that Iran can produce drones for Russia quickly enough.
The White House declared that Russia had used all the Iranian drones it had previously received. Now it is asking Tehran for new batches of drones for shelling Ukraine.
The role of Iran in the war against Ukraine
The Russian army uses Iranian-made drones for strikes on the territory of Ukraine. Western countries have repeatedly stated that the Russian Federation agreed with Iran on such supplies, but Moscow and Tehran have rejected these accusations in every possible way.
After Ukraine presented real evidence of the use of Iranian weapons by Russia in Ukraine, Tehran changed its position and admitted its involvement in the supply of weapons to the Russian Federation, which it had previously denied.
British intelligence has reported that Russia has moved from receiving small batches of Iranian UAVs by air to larger batches via ships from Iran via the Caspian Sea.
CNN also wrote that the Iranian drones attacking Ukraine were created using stolen Western technologies.
