- The Guardian:
Iranian kamikaze UAVs used in recent attacks on Ukrainian cities are equipped with European components, according to a secret document sent by Kiev to its Western allies.
In a 47-page document presented by the government of Ukraine to the governments of the G7 countries, in August, it is alleged that in the previous three months there had been more than 600 raids on cities using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) containing Western technology.
According to the document, 52 electrical components from Western companies were found in the Shahed-131 drone, and in the Shahed-136 model — 57, whose flight range is 2000 km (1240 miles), and cruising speed — 180 km/h (111 mph).
Five European companies, including the Polish branch of a British multinational corporation, have been named as the original manufacturers of the identified components.
“Among the manufacturers there are companies headquartered in countries of the sanctions coalition: the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Japan and Poland,” — is stated in it. 
Ukraine has invited its allies to launch missile strikes on Iranian factories for the production of Shahed UAVs.
Among the proposals on the actions of Ukraine's Western allies – which they will probably refuse – are “missile attacks on factories producing these UAVs in Iran, Syria, as well as a potential production site in the Russian Federation.”
According to the document, Iran has already diversified its production by using a Syrian plant with delivery to the Russian port of Novorossiysk, but drone production is moving to Russia, to the central Terter region of Alabuga, although Tehran continues to supply components. .
The document states:
“The above can be carried out by the Ukrainian defense forces if the partners provide the necessary means of destruction.”
