Iran sends Russia hundreds of ballistic missiles - eviltoast

Cross-posted from: https://feddit.de/post/9201006

Iran’s provision of around 400 missiles includes many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, such as the Zolfaghar, three Iranian sources said. This road-mobile missile is capable of striking targets at a distance of between 300 and 700 km (186 and 435 miles), experts say. Iran’s defence ministry and the Revolutionary Guards - an elite force that oversees Iran’s ballistic missile programme - declined to comment. Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The shipments began in early January after a deal was finalised in meetings late last year between Iranian and Russian military and security officials that took place in Tehran and Moscow, one of the Iranian sources said.

    Ah yes. “Encouraging the various militant proxy groups they support to ‘not antagonize the US’ in order to avoid further conflict” while simultaneously sending munitions to proxy groups Iran. That one.
