According to the American interlocutor of Reuters, Iran did not supply Russia with launchers at the time of the announcement by the United States about the supply of Iranian missiles.
A representative of European intelligence said without further clarification that he did not expect to provide Moscow with launchers.
Experts interviewed by Reuters cited several reasons why Russia did not receive launchers for the Fath-360.
One of them is that Moscow may plan to modify trucks to transport missiles. Another is Tehran’s attempt to leave room for maneuver in negotiations with Western powers.
To date, Iran’s military assistance to Russia’s campaign in Ukraine includes the supply of hundreds of single-action unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery ammunition, and extensive support for Russia’s domestic production of UAVs.
The delivery of ballistic missiles, which the US officially confirmed on September 10, indicates further deepening of military relations between Iran and Russia.
Great Britain and the USA have already announced their sanctions packages against Iran and Russia. The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, handed the member states a proposal for sanctions for Iran’s transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia.
