The government of Iran has supplied Russia with numerous surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. The shipments would begin in early January 2024. This follows an agreement finalized after a series of bilateral meetings that took place in Tehran and Moscow at the end of 2023, attended by military officials and security personnel from the two countries .

This was revealed by the British news agency "Reuters", which cites six experts on the matter as sources. "There will be more shipments, there is no reason to hide it. We can export weapons to any country we want", an Iranian official said. According to sources, at least four expeditions are planned in these days and others in the coming weeks.

In detail, the supply of armaments to Moscow by Tehran, both countries economically sanctioned by the United States, would concern around 400 missiles, including those of the short-range Fateh-110 family such as the Zolfaghar, which has a range of between 300 and the 700 km.
