Iran is likely preparing to transfer short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. The White House is concerned about Russia's possible cooperation with Iran. They emphasized that they would monitor the situation and take appropriate measures if necessary.

On Channel 24, the editor-in-chief of Defense Express, Oleg Katkov, spoke about what missiles Iran could transfer to Russia and how a terrorist country would use them on the battlefield.

The threat remains

Discussions about transferring ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia have been going on for more than a year. The first rumor appeared in November 2022. We were talking about Fateh-110 ballistic missiles with a range of 300 kilometers.

In fact, no one has eliminated this threat. “She stays,” Katkov noted.

The transfer of missiles from Iran to Russia, given that Tehran already supplies attack drones, artillery shells and helps with their production on the territory of the aggressor, is real. Moreover, Fateh-110 is in production and it is possible that in November 2022 a corresponding agreement was reached between Russia and Iran and then mass production of these missiles began.

The second type of missile that Iran could likely transfer to Iran is the Ababil. It is declared that the range of this missile is more than 80 kilometers. Ababil is the Iranian equivalent of the GMLRS missile to HIMARS, said the editor-in-chief of Defense Express.

Iran brought Fateh-110 and Ababil missiles to Russia for the Army-2023 exhibition in August 2023. Also in September 2023, they were demonstrated to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during his visit to Tehran.

“If Fateh-110 is in mass production and has been transferred to other countries, then Ababil is a new development. And here the question is so real that Iran will launch production of these missiles in a short period of time,” Katkov added.

Iran is probably preparing to supply missiles to Russia

• Earlier it was reported that Russia and Iran could conclude a deal on the supply of drones and ballistic missiles. Iranian and Russian officials inspected Iranian weapons in Moscow and Tehran. Probably, the two states were preparing for the possible supply of new weapons.
• At the same time, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense noted that Ukraine, together with its partners, is doing everything possible and impossible to prevent the transfer of Iranian hypersonic missiles to Russia.
• However, now American officials have expressed concern about the transfer of drones, guided bombs and artillery shells from Iran to Russia. US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there are indications that Iran may be considering supplying Russia with ballistic missiles for use in Ukraine.
