According to information from the International Aviation News ** on the 25th, an Iranian Air Force Il-76 transport plane has just landed at Moscow airport (the third time in a week). This frequency is easily linked to information about Iran's supply of ballistic missiles to Russia. Last week, Reuters reported that Iran had supplied Russia with 400 ballistic missiles, most of which were short-range (700 km), known as the Fateh-110 family of Fatah. These cheap missiles will make up for the lack of Russian "Iskander" tactical missiles, and at the same time to reduce the cost of strikes.

It should be noted that before that, NATO seized on the Russian army's claim that it was using North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles to strike targets in Ukraine. Now it is turning the finger to Iran, which may feel that Iran's military industrial strength is strong enough to provide strong support for the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (including Lebanon), and the Syrian battlefield. The analysis of Iranian missiles says that Iran has more than 6,000 ballistic missiles in stockpile, so it is fully capable of taking out 400 and exchanging euros, ** and ** equipment from Russia.

On the issue of Iran's military assistance to Russia, none of the people who can say anything about it are directly related to it. Even the G7's accusatory statements against North Korea and Iran were slapped in the face by the Ukrainians. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Budanov, has just refuted the rumors that "Iran handed over missiles to Russia." He also stressed that Russia is not using North Korean missiles on a large scale in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. "Russia does not have Iranian missiles, only a few North Korean-made missiles for strikes, and the scale is not large," he said.

There have only been about three reports of North Korean KN-23 missile strikes in Ukraine, the most recent of which was an air strike on Kyiv on the 15th of this month. On the same day, 1 Russian missile hit the village of Babenetska, Bucha District, Kyiv,** causing a huge crater, and the vegetation around the crater was destroyed. Ukrainian military investigators say the Russian missile was actually a North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile, and that it hit the meaningless suburban village of Babnetska because it was seriously deviated from the strike route.

It is NATO's most realistic mentality to live with oneself, and their military assistance to Ukraine shows "muscle weakness", and they also believe that the Russian army's ** ammunition now needs external blood transfusion to continue to support. However, in terms of Russia's ballistic missile technology and production capacity, the DPRK and Iran are not at the same level at all, and the Russian army is currently relying more on drones in the zone of the special military operation. The cargo to be unloaded by the Iranian transport plane that arrived in Moscow at the beginning is most likely also the "Shahid-136" drones that Iran is delivering under contract. In addition, it should be said that some of Iran's so-called short-range tactical missiles are almost the same as large-caliber and high-precision "Hurricane" rocket launchers in terms of strike accuracy and destructive power.
