Most parts of Iranian drones produced by US, European companies - intel

Intelligence collected from downed Iranian drones in Ukraine indicates that most parts of the UAVs are produced by companies in the United States, Europe and other allied nations.

That's according to The Wall Street Journal, Ukrinform reports, referring to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

"New intelligence collected from downed Iranian drones in Ukraine shows that a majority of the aircrafts' parts are manufactured by companies in the U.S., Europe and other allied nations, stoking concern among Western officials and analysts and prompting a U.S. government investigation," the report said.

It added that Ukrainian intelligence estimates that three-quarters of the components of the Iranian drones downed in Ukraine are American-made. The findings were made after the Ukrainian military downed several drones, including an Iranian Mohajer-6 drone that agents hacked midflight and landed intact, according to Ukrainian investigators.
