Ukrainian army technicians who have dismantled missiles, drones and ordnance used against their country have found component manufactured in Austria, US, Germany, France, Denmark and other countries in these weapons. More recently the Austrian-manufactured Rotax 912 aircraft engines were found in Mohajer-6 drones that Russian forces are using against the energy infrastructure in Ukraine, claimed Slovakian newsportal Denník N.
The Austrian manufacturer has denied supplying these to Iran, but an investigation found that their product has indeed found its way to the Iranian military after a Slovakian company was given a license from authorities to export them to the Islamic country. A company from the town of Prievidza had exported Rotax engines to Iran as recently as in April this year.
Furthermore, an earlier investigation has found that even the Czech Republic has continued to supply weapons components to Russia after its 2014 annexation of Crimea and parts of the Donbas region. Countries such as the UK, Germany and France have sold weapons to Moscow worth EUR 121 million after the 2014 invasion through finding a loophole in the weapons embargo.

Rotax 912 это ширпотребный движок, используемый на сотне разных моделей от Австралии до Венесуэлы, так что доступность его для Ирана не должна удивлять. Хотя на движке есть серийный номер, и выяснить, по какому каналу он ушёл, не должно быть слишком трудно.
Для меня Rotax 912 не более чем набор букв и цифр, а Вы знаете, что это движок, и к тому же ширпотребный? Снимаю шляпу!
