The Russian Federation provided Iran with Su-35 aircraft and SCRC C-400 in exchange for Shakhda and missiles-the media

In addition to thousands of drones purchased in Iran, at the end of last year, the Russian Federation agreed to buy additional military goods worth about $ 2 billion. Western intelligence believes that the Russian Federation provided Iran with modern Su-35 fighters and C-400 SPRs in exchange for Shakhaned UAV and rockets. About it reports Wall Street Journal. There is no public evidence that Su-35 has already been sent.

As the US intelligence representative and the Middle East explained, who knows the agreement in detail, the corresponding delay may be due to the fact that the aircraft has not taken place. In 2007, Tehran signed an agreement on the acquisition of the Russian C-300 anti-aircraft system, but Moscow decided to delay the supply of weapons under pressure from the United States and European countries. The unauthorized ban ended in 2016.

Since then, Iran has tried to buy a powerful C-400 system in Russia. It was unknown in public whether Moscow decided to provide the C-400 batteries. Some variants of these systems are equipped with radars that can affect the "invisible" technology used by modern military aircraft. Russia has launched such complexes to protect its military bases in Syria. These batteries pose a potential deadly threat to US military and Israeli, which occasionally operate in Syria.

Iran has agreed to sell Russia's land-earth rockets separately for use in Ukraine. According to a new intelligence score, it is expected that weapons will soon be launched. According to officials, there is no evidence that the missiles have already been delivered. The production of combat drones has become a joint venture between the two countries, according to intelligence representatives.

Initially, giving Iran the Russian drones was an attempt by Tehran to help his ally to retain a hole in a military campaign against Ukraine. Russia, which at the beginning of the war, had few battles, in the fall of 2022 began to use two types of drones of Iranian manufactured "Shahamed": Shahd-131 and Shahd-136. Intelligence representatives believe that Moscow also benefits from cooperation.

In addition to thousands of drones purchased in Iran, at the end of last year, the Russian Federation agreed to buy additional military goods worth about $ 2 billion. Among them are systems of protection against drones that have become a major priority for Russian generals in Ukraine. We will remind, on April 16 in NBC News reported that American officials expect that Israel's possible response to Iran's attack on the weekend will be limited in scale.
