Investigative journalists discovered that Motor Sich, a Ukrainian strategic enterprise, had been trading with Iranian companies for years, despite the fact that these companies were sanctioned by the National Security and Defense Council. Motor Sich sold dual-use goods to Iran, such as AI-9 and TV3-117 aircraft engines, and collaborated with companies involved in the development of Shahed-171 and Shahed-136, which Russia has used to bombard Ukrainian cities. All of this cooperation was conducted through the former president of Motor Sich, Viacheslav Bohuslaev.
