Ukrainian investigators establish that a state-owned aircraft manufacturing company manufactures the drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine

The Iranian state-owned aircraft manufacturing company Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company produces Shahed-131\136 attack drones, which Russia has been using in the war against Ukraine since September 2022.

This was reported by the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, according to Suspilne.

The examination also revealed that Russian drones marked "Geranium" are also manufactured by Iran.

"The drone labelled 'Geranium-2' was identified as a 'Shahed-136' kamikaze drone. Another seized sample called "Geranium-1" has been identified as a "Shahed-131" kamikaze strike drone," the agency said.

The Prosecutor General's Office also said it had contacted nine countries to find out how to supply the foreign-made components.

Earlier, parts from Japan, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, and other countries were found in the drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine.

In September, it was reported that the German company Spinner was supplying Russia with machines to manufacture ammunition to circumvent sanctions.

In August, the Ukrainian military found an engine made by the Czech company Models Motors among the wreckage of a Russian Lancet drone.

It will be recalled that Iran has officially introduced a new Shahed-238 jet attack drone.
