Financial Times report: Russia secretly supplies Iran with 90 advanced missile launchers
According to a report published in the Financial Times on Thursday, Russia has resupplied Iran with 90 launchers for advanced guided missiles that were battle-tested in Ukraine. The FT was given documents from a major Russian defence manufacturer identifying the sales for helicopter-mounted launchers using Iran's codename 'K-10'. The report was published the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei in Moscow, shortly after which Russia warned its citizens against traveling to Iran. Iran's codename was verified by cross-checking delivery documents containing the 'K-10' codename against reports by Iran's Tasnim news agency, which publicly confirmed the deliveries. The FT reported earlier this year that Russia had supplied Iran with supersonic cruise missiles and shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles.
