Some of the Western weapons transferred to Ukraine end up in Russia and Iran – CNN
In Iran, Western weapons are being disassembled and attempts are being made to analyze their composition.
Western weapons, which Ukraine’s partners provide for protection against aggressors, sometimes remain on the battlefield and end up in the hands of the Russians. They are sending these weapons to Iran so they can try to redesign the systems there.
This was reported by CNN with reference to its own sources.
The message indicates that over the past year, Russian troops have seized samples of small portable Western weapons several times. In particular, the Russians captured Javelin anti-tank systems and Stinger anti-aircraft systems.
The publication’s sources report that the Russians are handing over some weapon samples to Iran for dismantling and analysis. Moscow believes that by supplying Tehran with samples of Western weapons, they will encourage Iran to further help in the war against Ukraine.
US officials do not believe the problem is widespread or systematic. In addition, the Ukrainian military necessarily informs its Western partners if it loses any types of weapons.
