On February 26, Iran began to supply Russia with large-scale combat strategic missiles, which was "leaked" from the Reuters news agency. According to the information, "Rocket Express" has been transported by air and sea.
There are reports that Reuters has learned from six people familiar with the matter that the missile will be sent to Russia. According to them, Russia will receive Fatah-110 and Zor Faghhar. Some are transported to Russia by sea by ship on the shores of the Caspian Sea, and some by military transport. At the same time, an Iranian official revealed to Reuters that the rockets had already been delivered in January. Since then, there have been four shipments. He said that the process would be accelerated, production would increase, and there would be no need to hide it, and that Iran could export ** to any country they wanted.
A Russian military expert also reportedly told Reuters that Russia had recently received a large number of rockets. This news saddened some academics in Western countries, especially considering that Iran's missiles are very accurate and very inexpensive. American analysts believe that these ** are used to destroy targets that are meaningful to Ukraine and must be attacked with precision, and 400 of these ** can cause huge losses to this country.
The reliability of this report has also been debated by many scholars, but for now, this news should be correct. In fact, this is not new news, just a report from Western intelligence agencies that suggests that Moscow and Tehran are working on a military-technical collaboration. It should be noted that from June to July 22 there were reports about Iran's sale of drones to Russia. In September of that year, the Shahed-131 Shahed-136 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were adopted on a large scale. Similarly, Columbia TV in the United States has reported that North Korea is sending artillery to Russia. It didn't take long for the missiles to arrive in front of them.
In the case of Iranian missiles, from the early 2000s, the fateh-110 type (translated from Persian as "conqueror") has been in service. Iran has now begun to adopt fourth-generation devices of this type. It should be noted that the "Fata", which originally received the designation of the Zilzal-2 type unguided missile, was streamlined from the Soviet Luna-M tactical complex. In the process of developing "Fatah", Iranian designers put a computer brain on the rocket and designed it according to current technology. The effective range of the missile reached 300 kilometers, and the combat weight increased to 650 kilograms.
However, Russia is more interested in another missile, called Zulfikal. In fact, Russia has been bound by the Nuclear Forces Treaty since the 1980s, and neither Russia nor the United States can build and test short-range (500 to 1000 km) and medium-range (1000 to 5500 km) nuclear warheads. Therefore, even the best Russian strategic system, Iskander, with the use of quasi-ballistic missiles, can only reach a distance of 490 km. And Iran is not subject to this, so its engineers built a range of 700 km. In 2020, Iran blew up an Iranian airfield in Iraq at Ain al-Assad airport, and the United States did just that. They work well against stationary targets.
Experts note that the first report of an Iranian missile launch was at the end of 2022, but since then there has been no progress. The delay may be due to the worldwide sanctions imposed on Iran. Major sanctions against Iran were lifted in 2020, while sanctions on the missile program ended in October 2023. Other experts believe that because Iran's strategic approach includes the massive use of conventional strategic missiles in the region, Iran's missiles are well suited to a major land operation. Iran is fully preparing for a large-scale, unconventional battle with the leading groups in the region and has developed the most powerful missile.
Russian Iskander missiles are believed to have been used to create strategic nuclear bombs. As a result, it turns out that rockets are high-tech, **expensive and, relatively speaking, not widespread. Its level of technology is high enough to break through the air defense system. However, thanks to the involvement of the West, as well as Ukraine**, Russia is now fighting an alliance of 50 great powers. In other words, Iran-produced missiles are produced precisely for this type of war, are low-cost, can be used in large quantities, and are accurate enough to ensure that no meaningful targets are missed.
In addition, some Western politicians say that Russia sees the purchase of missiles from Iran as a flaw in its military-industrial alliance. Unexpectedly, the Russians laughed. Let's not forget that Russia has a big advantage over long-range attacks on Ukraine. Iskander's "Lancet", "Caliber", air-launched cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, gliding bombs and other manufacturing equipment have been operating in three shifts over three days, delivering all the finished products to the front. However, Ukraine has become a "human shield" for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union. Therefore, Russia will never feel that there are too many missiles that can reach the enemy's position, so that the Russian armored forces and tanks can retreat in one piece. With so many affordable **, why not? The more the merrier! Millions in Dragon Cards.
