In the United States evaluated the information on the purchase of Russian Iranian drones

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby

A Russian delegation has visited an airfield in Iran at least twice in recent weeks to inspect drones that the aggressor country wants to acquire for use in the war against Ukraine.

The White House sees “no sign” of Russian purchases of Iranian drones. This was stated by the coordinator for strategic communications of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, on Tuesday, July 26, informs Lara Seligman, Pentagon correspondent for Politico.

Kirby noted that Western sanctions damage the defense complex of the Russian Federation. In connection with this, Moscow “has difficulties with the deployment of the latest means.”

“We have not seen any evidence of delivery or purchase of Iranian drones by the Russian Ministry of Defense,” he said.

However, the very fact that Vladimir Putin sought a deal shows that the sanctions are working, Kirby added.

Earlier it was reported that US intelligence became aware of Iran’s intentions to provide Russia several hundred unmanned aerial vehicles, including combat ones. The United States suggested that the need to purchase this weapon is probably due to the significant losses of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine.

In turn, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein-Amir Abdollahian said that Tehran does not help none of the parties to the war in Ukraine.

Recall that on July 18-19, a trilateral summit was held in Tehran, in which leaders of Iran, Turkey and Russia take part.
