Some military experts believe that Iranian FATH-360 missiles, which have a flight range up to 120 km, can be used for beats in border areas, including civilian objects, which will allow Russia to save more long-range systems for other operations. This is stated in Breaking Defense. Senior researcher at the Middle East Institute Jean Lu Samaan said in an interview with the publication that Iran has created a significant arsenal of ballistic missiles over the last 20 years.
The expert emphasizes that the presence of Iranian missiles can significantly expand the arsenal of Moscow, increasing its capacity in melee. "I assume that for Russia they are relevant for the fights that we observe in the border area between Russian and Ukrainian troops, so they will be used at the tactical level to demand Ukrainians," he said.
Analysts also point out that Moscow's appeal to Tehran can indicate problems in the production of weapons in Russia, and the Russian defense industry does not cope with more needs during the conflict. At the same time, experts also reminded the recent experience of mass use of Iranian missiles in the territory of Israel, the vast majority of whom have not achieved their goals.
However, in any case, the use of FATH-360 missiles in addition to the long-range weapons systems can increase Russia's tactical advantages on the battlefield. "FATH-360 is a derived from the most accurate ballistic missile of Iran, a family of single-stage solid fueling missiles Fateh. Most of the fact that Iran launched April 13 is the medium-sized medium-range ballistic missiles that have never been used in regional military operations.
