Ukraine suggested that the event beat UAV factories in Russia, Iran and Syria - The Guardian

About it reports The Guardian, citing a 47-page document that Ukraine has sent in August the countries of "Greater Seven". As stated in the document, for three months, Russia's troops "used" more than 600 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for strikes in the cities of Ukraine. According to the document, 52 electrical components made by Western companies were found in Shahd-131 and 57 in Shahd-136, the flight range of 2000 km and cruising speed of 180 km/h.

"Among the manufacturers are companies with headquarters in the sanctions coalition: the United States, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Japan and Poland," it reads. The Iran government, according to the records in the documents, "cannot cope with Russian demand" because of the high intensity of drones in Ukraine and, in addition, tries to make it "so that it is no longer associated with the supply of weapons of Russia.

" Therefore, in order to diversify production, Iran has already started using the plant in Syria, from where drones come to Novorossiysk. In addition, their issue is organized in the special economic zone of "Alabuga" in the Tatarstan region. In doing so, Iran continues to supply the components to the UAV.

That is why the Government of Ukraine proposes Western allies "to strike rocket strokes in the factories that produce these drones in Iran and Syria, and at the potential place of production in the Russian Federation. " "These strokes can be attached to the Defense forces of Ukraine if partners provide the necessary means of destruction," the document reads. It is known that from Alabuga to the border of Ukraine - about 1500 km.

Ukraine does not have Western weapons of such a range, but it develops its own drones and missiles that can strike at that distance. The plant in Alabuga will be expected to start working in early 2024, and the US National Security Council Prescribe, John Kirby, said earlier. Iran actively uses drones and their components, purchased or captured in other countries, to disassemble and produce their own.

"Iranian UAV manufacturers have adapted and mainly use available commercial components, the supply of which is not bad or not controlled at all," the document stated. The records say that in the drones of the ShahED-131 Ukrainians found 52 components produced by Western companies, and in the Shahd-136-57.
