Reuters learned that Iran will hand over the FATH-360 ballistic missiles: what are they dangerous

To spread: Iran is preparing to transfer to Russia in the near future ballistic missiles of the Earth-Earth class: they have a radius of action up to 120 kilometers, reach in a diameter of 300 millimeters, and weighing-approximately 850-1100 kilograms. Such weapons are quite difficult for interception, fast and accurate. The correspondents of the Reuters agency on May 9 were exclusively learned about Iran's intentions to deepen her cooperation with Russia by transferring this type of weapons.

Such data on Reuters received from two Western security officials and one official. It is noted that the FATH-360 missiles handed over to the Kremlin last year. Now the Iranian military power is preparing to transfer the launching installations for these ballistic missiles that "should be inevitable", the sources say.

However, there were no public reports on the use of the FATH-360 Iranian missiles, as well as official public announcements for Iran Russia to any other small-range ballistic missiles. The information that Russia received FATH-360 Ballistic missiles from Iran has come even earlier. Thus, in September 2024 it turned out that Iran handed over the Kremlin itself, but without starting installations.

Defense Express researchers then learned about these ballistic missiles, identifying the main threats of FATH-360 on the battlefield: it is unknown when the Kremlin can receive from Iran's launch installations for FATH-360 missiles. The officials aware of this issue refused to reveal Reuters details. We will remind, on April 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a strategic agreement on the partnership of the Russian Federation with Iran, after which countries officially became allies.
