In exchange for weapons: in the US speak of unprecedented assistance of Iran by the Russian Federation - NBC
Such information was provided by high -ranking officials in the US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden, according to the American news channel NBC News. The material emphasizes that Russia probably supplies advanced military equipment and components, including helicopters and air defense systems, within the extended partnership. At the same time, Iranian pilots studied in Russia piloting the Russian Su-35 fighter.
According to US officials, this indicates that Iran can receive Russian aircraft next year. Journalists recalled that the White House had previously declared the supply of Iranian drones to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for their use in the war against Ukraine. However, now it is a full defense partnership with bilateral exchange of weapons and military experience. In particular, it is the possibility of selling Russia hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles.
"This partnership poses a threat not only to Ukraine but also to Iran's neighbors in the region. We shared this information with partners in the Middle East and around the world," journalists quoted a source in the White House. In response to these steps, Americans are taking measures to limit the military cooperation of Iran and the Russian Federation.
In particular, the United States, along with the Allies, is working to ensure that Moscow and Tehran cannot move equipment, weapons or money through their countries to support this new partnership. We will remind, according to the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, Russia has resumed blows in Ukraine, probably with the help of Iranian drones of unilateral attack (OWA).
