Russia agreed to supply Iran with 90 helicopter missile launchers
Leaked documents reveal Russia's plan to supply Iran with 90 missile launchers, highlighting deep military ties between the two nations. The LMUR launchers, used extensively in Ukraine, are scheduled for delivery between late 2024 and December 2025. This cooperation comes amid rising global energy prices benefiting Russia and diverting attention from Ukraine. Despite U.S. claims of minimal Russian support for Iran, European intelligence indicates significant military assistance, including drones. High-level meetings between Russian and Iranian officials reflect the strengthening partnership, although Russia's military production is strained due to the Ukraine conflict.
