No Russian parts found in Iranian Mohajer drone – Ukrainian intel
The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
"The propeller of the Mohajer-6 drone was manufactured only in February this year. And it also took time to deliver it to the Russian Federation. That is, they were delivered this year," said a representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence.
According to the report, the Iranian-made Mohajer is assembled from parts produced in different countries, with most components being from the United States. The drone has an Austrian engine and a Japanese camera.
According to the intelligence official, no Russian parts were found in the drone: a visible range camera was made in Japan, a laser rangefinder was made in China, and an aerial bomb was produced in Iran.
Currently, Ukrainian experts are studying how foreign-made parts were used in Iranian drones. Employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate have already transferred the serial numbers and data on the component manufacturers to the partner countries, the report said.
On November 5, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran had supplied drones to Russia, but it did so before the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The U.S. Department of State Department earlier said that the United States would use all tools to prevent Iran from supplying weapons to Russia.
