The sanctions announced by the American government in 2022 on Iran's UAV industry are not really being enforced.
Iran International cites data from Iranian customs, according to which between March and May of this year, Iran imported "aircraft spare parts" worth 10 million dollars.
Among the sources of imports can be found China, Thailand, Turkey, Russia, the Emirates and also the USA... At the same time, Iran reported during the period in question the export of aircraft parts worth 4 million dollars to Venezuela.
It is understood that the figures published by Iran are partial and do not reflect its massive involvement in the production of drones and their export to Russia and its other affiliated organizations in the region.
