The prosecutor’s office has already launched an investigation.

Poland is investigating a violation of arms and technology export regulations that resulted in  Polish components being found in Iranian Shahed-136 drones.

Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said the case was uncovered by the Internal Security Agency. He called it “absolutely horrific.” “The prosecutor’s office will definitely take the necessary measures, bring charges and report on the further course of the investigation,” Wydarzenia quotes him as saying .

He added that the government is now trying to “hush up all issues related to sanctions.” “In previous years, this system was very weakened, despite the rhetoric. The National Fiscal Administration, in cooperation with other services, has been working intensively for several months now to ensure that sanctions and embargoes are not bypassed,” said Siemonyak.

According to Radio Zet, a state-owned company from Poznan sold parts that were included in Iranian combat “shaheds”. We are talking about pumps manufactured by a company belonging to the Polish Agency for Industrial Development.

  1. Is this something new? Is there any country in the free world that doesn’t have components in any trash country’s weapons? This has been ongoing since day one.
