Throw together with the staff: the Russian Federation gave Iran to protect the air defense system - the media

The supply of Iran's air defense systems together with the calculations will mean Russia's direct involvement in the Iran-Israeli War, analysts say. Despite the fact that Russia itself lacks air defense complexes to protect the territories, it decided to help Iran and has already started supply. This is stated in Defense Express.

Thus, on the eve of the exacerbation of relations between Iran and Israel, due to the elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Ganya, Tehran arrived in the Russian Defense Ministry of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu, who is now holding the position of Secretary of the Russian Council. He held a number of meetings with the President, Secretary of the National Security Council and the head of the General Staff.

But, according to the New York Times, Iran asked for modern air defense systems in the Russian Federation in preparation for war with Israel. Russia answered positively and has already started supply. It is noted that Iran needed additional air defense systems, although he has enough of his own, since Israel promised to destroy all Iranian nuclear objects.

"Iran could only ask for the Russian Federation only C-400, which according to the Kremlin's declarations can knock down ballistic missiles," the publication suggests. Thus, in March 2023, Iran made movements on receiving the C-400 from the Russian Federation, but there was no information about the contract for its supply, and against the backdrop of war with Ukraine the Kremlin was not interested in their supply, but the anti-aircraft missile complexes. Staff required.

Therefore, the only option for the urgent transfer of the C-400 SPR is their transfer together with Russian servicemen. At the same time, according to the Israeli media, the Russian Federation has already transferred to Iran the powerful complexes of the Murmansk-BN IRM and even OTRC "Iskander", it is possible that it is also with Russian military. "Thus, the possible Iran-Iranian War will be quite likely to mean direct participation in it. Moreover, it will not be the first for the Kremlin.
