Poland is investigating the presence of Polish components on Shahed drones

Poland is investigating the presence of Polish components on Iranian Shahed-136 drones.

InfoSecurity reported on this.

According to the Polish special services, the components were sold to Iran Motorsazan, which, according to documents, manufactures agricultural tractors.

In this way, the Polish company Communication Equipment Factory – Poznań from the city of Poznań exported fuel pumps that ended up in Iranian factories producing military strike drones, which were then purchased by Russia.

Tomasz Siemoniak, Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration, also commented on the situation.

“The investigation is ongoing and carried out by the local department of the National Prosecutor’s Office in Poznan. It is about violating the norms on the export of weapons and technologies,” Siemoniak said.

He also added that Polish intelligence services will now begin to conduct more extensive work to find companies that export equipment that Russia could use in the war against Ukraine.

“The Security Service discovered this case, and, of course, it is absolutely shocking. But the prosecutor’s office will definitely take measures, bring charges, and inform us about further progress in this case,” the Minister added.

In addition to Polish companies, some components are exported from other European countries that export equipment that can be used for military purposes despite the EU embargo.

Militarnyi previously reported that a married couple with German and Russian citizenship who were involved in exporting components for UAVs to Russia had been jailed in Germany.

The convicted couple was involved in producing military materials and components, including for Orlan-10 drones.

Amplifiers and transistors, purchased in Germany and delivered, in particular, to a company in St. Petersburg, were among the components sent to Russia.
