Defense Intelligence Agency invites foreign officials to see debris from drones downed in Ukraine and Iraq to show what it says is “undeniable” evidence that Tehran is supplying Russia with a fleet of aircraft, according to analysts at the agency.
with a fleet of one-way armed aircraft for its war in Ukraine, according to analysts at the agency.
The analyst presented the remnants of drones shot down in Ukraine, including parts of a wing and propeller engine, and a largely intact drone found in Iraq. The drones looked identical, with the same triangular design, wingspan, fiberglass fuselage and rudimentary propeller motor at the rear.“The evidence is clear and undeniable” that Russia is flying Iranian-made one-way drones in Ukraine, the analyst said.
The drones found in the Kurdish region of Iraq were used in an operation last year openly acknowledged by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which targeted Kurdish opposition groups, the DIA analyst said. An IRGC commander stated publicly that missiles and drones were used in the assault.Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has said Iran supplied drones to Russia but claimed that the unmanned aircraft had been delivered months before the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The plant, located in the Alabuga special economic zone in the Russian republic of Tatarstan, “could dramatically increase the supply of these one-way drones” for Russia, a DIA spokesperson said. DIA believes that the drones currently in use were manufactured in Iran.
