Russia uses domestically produced drones. Ukraine says has shot down more than 220 Iranian.

UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy insisted the weapons had been made in Russia and condemned “baseless accusations and conspiracy theories”.

The Russian Federation uses only domestically made drones in its special operation in Ukraine, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky told reporters.

"We have our drone industry which produces the things that we need for this campaign and all these allegations are entirely on the conscience of our Western colleagues," Polyansky said after closed UN Security Council consultations, during which Western nations accused Iran of supplying its drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.

The diplomat added that inscriptions in Russian can be seen on wreckage of drones that had hit targets in Ukraine. "I don’t think that Russian is very much widely used in Iran," Polyansky said.

Ukraine says its military has shot down more than 220 Iranian drones, formally known as uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV), in little more than a month and has invited UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to Ukraine to inspect some of the wreckage it has collected.

Speaking after the Security Council meeting on Wednesday, Russia’s Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy insisted the weapons had been made in Russia and condemned “baseless accusations and conspiracy theories”.

He called on Guterres and his staff to “abstain from engaging in any illegitimate investigation. Otherwise, we will have to reassess our collaboration with them, which is hardly in anyone’s interests,” he told reporters.
