华盛顿-俄罗斯本月从德黑兰获得的伊朗制造的无人驾驶飞机面临技术问题，用于与伊朗的战争乌克兰据拜登政府官员称。
这些官员在讨论美国情报评估时要求匿名，他们没有详细说明“无数次失败”他们补充说，美国评估认为，本月几天内交付的Mohajer-6和Shahed系列无人机很可能是俄罗斯购买数百架伊朗无人机计划的一部分。
美联社(Associated Press)上周报道称，尽管美国警告德黑兰不要运送这些无人机，但俄罗斯最近获得了数百架能够用于对乌克兰战争的伊朗无人机。《华盛顿邮报》首先报道称，俄罗斯面临伊朗无人机的技术问题。
官员们说，俄罗斯操作员继续在伊朗接受培训，学习如何在乌克兰战场上使用这些系统，这些系统可以进行空对地攻击、电子战和目标锁定。
拜登政府上个月公布的卫星图像显示，俄罗斯官员在6月8日和7月5日访问了卡尚机场，查看伊朗无人机。当时，白宫国家安全顾问杰克·沙利文(Jake Sullivan)声称，政府“有情报显示，伊朗政府正准备向俄罗斯提供数百架无人机。”
由于入侵乌克兰，俄罗斯面临经济制裁和供应链限制，俄罗斯正转向伊朗，将其作为关键的合作伙伴和武器供应商。官员们说，本月几天前，俄罗斯飞机在伊朗的一个机场装载了无人机设备，然后这些武器被运往俄罗斯。
白宫国家安全委员会发言人约翰·柯比周一早些时候告诉记者，政府对无人机是否已经交付“没有更新”。他补充说，美国“没有看到任何让我们感到安慰的东西”，“采购和交付仍在逼近，仍在酝酿中。”
伊朗外交部长侯赛因·阿米尔·阿卜杜拉希安(Hossein-Amir Abdollahian)上个月表示，德黑兰与俄罗斯有“各种形式的合作，包括在国防领域。”
他说:“但我们不会帮助卷入这场战争的任何一方，因为我们认为这场战争必须停止。”。
政府官员证实了伊朗向俄罗斯供应无人机的细节，此时白宫也在试图敦促德黑兰恢复遵守2015年的核协议。
美国政府上周完成了对伊朗就欧洲提议重启该协议的评论的审查，该协议是在巴拉克奥巴马(Barack Obama)总统执政期间促成的，并于2018年被时任总统废除唐纳德·特朗普2018年。
US: Russia running into problems with Iran-made drones
WASHINGTON --Russia has faced technical problems with Iranian-made drones acquired from Tehran this month for use in its war withUkraine, according to Biden administration officials.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the U.S. intelligence assessment, did not detail the “numerous failures." They added that the U.S. assesses that the delivery of Mohajer-6 and Shahed-series unmanned aerial vehicles over several days this month is likely part of a Russian plan to acquire hundreds of Iranian UAVs.
The Associated Press reported last week that Russia had recently obtained hundreds of Iranian drones capable of being used in its war against Ukraine despite U.S. warnings to Tehran not to ship them. The Washington Post first reported that Russia has faced technical problems with the Iranian drones.
Russian operators continue to receive training in Iran on how to use these systems, which can conduct air-to-surface attacks, electronic warfare and targeting, on the battlefield in Ukraine, the officials said.
The Biden administration last month released satellite imagery indicating that Russian officials visited Kashan Airfield on June 8 and July 5 to view the Iranian drones. At the time, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan asserted that the administration has “information that the Iranian government is preparing to provide Russia with several hundred UAVs.”
Facing economic sanctions and limits on its supply chains due to its invasion of Ukraine, Russia is turning to Iran as a key partner and supplier of weapons. Russian aircraft was loaded with the UAV equipment at an airfield in Iran over several days this month before the weaponry was flown to Russia, the officials said.
White House national security council spokesman John Kirby told reporters earlier Monday that the administration had “no update” on whether the drones had been delivered. He added that the U.S. has has “seen nothing that that gives us a sense of comfort” and that “the procurement, and delivery is still looming, is still in the offing.”
Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein-Amir Abdollahian, said last month that Tehran had “various types of collaboration with Russia, including in the defense sector.”
“But we won’t help either of the sides involved in this war because we believe that it (the war) needs to be stopped,” he said.
The administration officials confirmed details of Iran supplying Russia with drones at a moment when the White House is also trying to prod Tehran to resume its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.
The administration last week c ompleted its review of Iran’s comments on a European proposal to restart the agreement that was brokered during President Barack Obama's administration and scrapped by in 2018 by then-PresidentDonald Trumpin 2018.
