According to diplomats, Russia has once more ordered hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles from Iran. “We know that Iran is planning to significantly increase its deliveries of unmanned missiles and missiles to Russia,” sources at the United Nations in New York told dpa.
Moscow wants to counteract the acute shortage of military supplies. There are several hundred projectiles and hundreds of drones. “I don’t think they’ve shipped yet, but they’re definitely on the order books,” a source in New York said.
It was initially not clear how exactly Russia might show its appreciation for the war aid given to the leadership in Tehran. According to diplomatic circles, it is less regarding money and more regarding military aid: “There will probably be a much deeper defense cooperation – with massive effects on the security of the region.”
Previous deliveries
According to consistent reports, Iran had already sent drones to Russia in August, which can be used, for example, to attack military objects such as radar systems and artillery.
A few weeks later, Russian forces repeatedly attacked targets in Ukraine with Iranian Shahed 136 kamikaze drones, which crashed at high speed and caused extensive damage. The EU states then imposed additional sanctions on Iran, which had already been subject to a number of punitive measures.
