Several European countries seeking to buy Iranian drones

The defence ministry spokesman said on August 26 that Iranian-made drones are highly popular on the international stage, adding that several Western and European countries have requested to have those drones.

Speaking to Iranian media, Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik pointed to the exports of Iranian drones to other countries and said that a large number of those countries have requested to purchase drones from Iran, Mehr News Agency reports.

"Our drones have many customers and many countries request to buy drones from us," he said.

The general said that Iran does not put on display all its drones for some reservations, adding that "If we do not have political and security considerations in relation to a country and we are sure that this drone will not be used inappropriately, and considering the capacity of drone production and domestic demand, we are ready to export drones that are in the export product portfolio."

"Now there are many customers for our drones, and we have received several requests from Western and European countries, although they do not want to be named," Talaei-Nik said.

The spokesman said that none of the contracts to export drones with other countries has been called off.

"Regarding past exchanges with countries like Russia, none of them have been cancelled. However, each of them goes through its own specific processes," he noted.
