The analysis, obtained by CNN, is based on the disassembly of a downed Shahed-136 drone.

The Iranian-made drones used by Russia in its war against Ukraine are comprised of American parts, according to a Ukrainian intelligence assessment.Of the 52 parts taken out of the UAV by Ukrainian intelligence, 40 were made by 13 American companies, according to the report. Other salvaged components were also foreign-made — manufactured by companies in Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan, and China.

Tehran’s export of drones to Russia is also the apparent backbone of what the White House has called a “full-fledged” military alliance between the two pariah states.“Iran is providing Russia with drones for use on the battlefield in Ukraine,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at a briefing last month.

“In exchange, Russia is offering Iran an unprecedented level of military and technical support that is transforming their relationship into a full-fledged defense partnership,” he added.Ukraine’s assessment of the drone components took place late last year, and has been shared with the White House, according to CNN.

“We are looking at ways to target Iranian UAV production through sanctions, export controls, and talking to private companies whose parts have been used in the production,” NSC spokesperson Adrienne Watson told the outlet. “We are assessing further steps we can take in terms of export controls to restrict Iran’s access to technologies used in drones.”
