L’Iran ha inviato alla Russia missili per un valore di 2,7 miliardi di dollari

> Iran has sold nearly $3 billion worth of missiles to Russia to aid President Vladimir Putin’s nearly four-year-long war in Ukraine, according to an assessment from a Western security official.
>
> Contracts with Moscow starting from October 2021 — before the war began — for ballistic and surface-to-air missiles amount to roughly $2.7 billion, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
>
> The purchases have included hundreds of Fath-360 short-range ballistic missiles, nearly 500 other short-range ballistic missiles and approximately 200 surface-to-air missiles associated with anti-aircraft defense systems.
>
> Moscow and Tehran have drawn closer since Putin’s February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The conflict has triggered sweeping sanctions against Moscow and the Kremlin’s most serious confrontation with the West since the Cold War, while Iran’s provision of weapons to Russia has further deepened the two countries’ partnership.
>
> Russia’s Defense Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
>
> The Iranian foreign ministry also didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. There are heavy restrictions on the Internet and a near-black out in the country.
>
> Iran has delivered millions of rounds of ammunition and shells, according to the assessment, which doesn’t represent the entirety of what Moscow has purchased from Tehran as more equipment is expected to be supplied.
>
> Tehran has also supplied Shahed-136 “kamikaze” drones and shared technology that has enabled Russia to manufacture them domestically under the name “Geran-2” as part of a $1.75 billion contract signed at the beginning of 2023.
>
> In total, Russia has spent more than the equivalent of $4 billion on Iranian military equipment since late 2021, according to the assessment.

> Iran, whose government is crushing ongoing violent protests, sought to deepen its ties with Russia starting in the 2010s, smarting from the West’s ability to isolate it over the country’s nuclear program.
>
> While Iran signed a strategic partnership with Russia in January 2025, it doesn’t contain a mutual-defense pact and Moscow didn’t offer any tangible assistance to Tehran during Israeli and US strikes on Iran last year. Russia is building a trade route with Tehran connecting to India to try to weaken the impact of sanctions, and officials have discussed boosting financial and banking cooperation.

there is no amount of sold missiles that will save a rotten dictator

Surely Trump will react to Iran receiving huge amount of financing from Russia and take a stance ageinst Russia. Right?

Dam they support Russia more than EU supports Ukraine.

But russki bots are crying about Europe’s help to Ukraine. All while the Russian terror regime gets countless of drones from Iran and soldiers and ammunition from North Korea. The hypocrisy in the Kremlin is amusing.

I’m like 95% sure of where this leak came from and the leaker’s goal (ie building US domestic support for bombing Iran again)

It is somewhat impressive to me that the Russians rely on Iran in part for their ballistic missile expertise. Iran has been hammered by sanctions so it’s not like they can freely import dual use spare parts

iran is complicit in the russian invasion of ukraine

Actually I would have been rather happy if they *sent* them to Moscow in a different way. Alas, topple of the Iran regime will have to suffice for now.
