• The publication's sources reported that these could be surface-to-surface missiles. According to the publication, deliveries began in early January 2024, which was a consequence of the conclusion of an agreement between the military and security representatives of Russia and Iran at the end of 2023.
• Experts from the American Institute for the Study The wars have emphasized that Tehran is interested in supplying missiles and drones to Russia in order to generate income to support its economy. Also, this Russian-Iranian military “exchange” is part of the deepening relations between the two states.
• The Defense Express emphasized that the main problem with the transfer of new missiles is that Ukraine does not have enough means to effectively counter this type of weapon. Therefore, the supply of additional anti-missile systems and operational-tactical missile systems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine becomes a matter of utmost importance.
