Russia denies having purchased Iranian drones

Kremlin-drones iranies
Moscow, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) "Russia uses domestically produced unmanned aerial vehicles and we are unaware of an alleged purchase of Iranian drones," Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.

In August, the The Washington Post newspaper published an article claiming that Iran was supplying drones to Russia, and similar accusations were later made by US officials, but all of this is false, Peskov told the government’s official website on Tuesday.

In late September, Foreign Minister of Iran Hossein Amir Abdolahian stated that Tehran does not support any of the parties to the conflict in Ukraine and opposes the supply of foreign weapons to both Kiev and Moscow.

Likewise, Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi, commander of the Air Force, stated that Iran had achieved 100 percent self-sufficiency in supplying combat UAVs to its forces.

These accusations have also arisen in Ukraine and in the European Union, unproved, after Moscow launched air strikes en masse using missiles and kamikaze drones against Ukrainian command centers, communications infrastructure and energy facilities on October 10th in response to terrorist attacks perpetrated by the Zelensky regime, which has the support of the United States and other NATO member countries.

The response of the Russian forces came after the attack on the bridge that connects the Crimean peninsula with the mainland of the country October 8th.
