Parts made by more than a dozen U.S. and Western companies were found inside a single Iranian drone downed in Ukraine last fall, according to a Ukrainian intelligence assessment obtained exclusively by CNN.
Of the 52 components Ukrainians removed from the Iranian Shahed-136 drone, 40 appear to have been manufactured by 13 different American companies, according to the assessment. "This is a game of Whack-a-Mole. And the United States government needs to get incredibly good at Whack-a- Mole, period," said former Pentagon official Gregory Allen, who now serves as Director of the Artificial Intelligence Governance Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies."This is a core competency of the U.S. national security establishment -- or it had better become one."into the efficacy of U.S.
A separate probe of Iranian drones downed in Ukraine, conducted by the UK-based investigative firm Conflict Armament Research, found that 82% of the components had been manufactured by companies based in the US. CNN sent emailed requests for comment last month to all the companies identified by the Ukrainians. The six that responded emphasized that they condemn any unauthorized use of their products, while noting that combating the diversion and misuse of their semiconductors and other microelectronics is an industry-wide challenge that they are working to confront.
You mean the one Mainstream media was quick to say Iran made it all their own due to siding with Russia? Kind of funny how you waited a year to release this after calling anyone who did not believe you a Putin Supporter.
It is not surprising at all. The US has a history of supplying both sides of a conflict
and bingo! we got ourselves a winner! 🤠🤪💔🤡
Still think Israel, US and Iran are enemies? Hint: Iraq.
Globalization is an amazing thing
