According to Gierszewski's findings, a state-owned company from Poznań sold parts used in Iranian Shahed 136 combat drones during the PiS government. These drones are used by Russians in the war in Ukraine.
The company, Wytwórnia Sprzętu Komunikacyjnego - Poznań Sp. z o.o., which belongs to the Polish Industrial Development Agency, manufactured fuel pumps that were exported to Iran Motorsazan Company. From there, they were sent to Iranian factories producing military drones (Shahed 136), also known as kamikaze drones.
The Iranians sold these to the Russians, who used them under the rebranded name Geran-2 to directly attack Ukrainian soldiers during the war in Ukraine.
The National Prosecutor's Office confirmed that since July 1, 2022, an investigation has been ongoing in Poland concerning the controversial sale of military equipment from Poznań to Iran, and subsequently to Russia.
Investigators are examining potential violations of arms export and technology export regulations.
In response to the news that a Polish company sold parts that ended up in Iranian drones used in the war against Ukraine, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced a review of contracts with countries currently supporting Russia.
"This situation is detrimental to our image and Polish-Ukrainian relations," emphasized the politician.
Robert Kropiwnicki, Deputy Minister of State Assets, expressed a similar opinion. "This issue is extremely harmful to us on the international stage, undermining our credibility. It is scandalous that on one hand, we fight to support Ukraine, while on the other, we provided parts to their opponents," Kropiwnicki commented in an interview with Radio ZET.
