Leaked documents have exposed a significant expansion of military cooperation between Russia and Iran, revealing that Moscow has committed to supplying Tehran with advanced guided missile launchers and training jets. Specifically, Russia has pledged to provide Iran with 90 launchers for advanced LMUR guided missiles, which are designed to be fired from combat helicopters. These same missiles have been extensively used by Russia during its conflict in Ukraine. Another revealed agreement details Russia's supply of six Yak-130 jet trainers to Iran, which were delivered in 2023.
The documents were obtained by the Ukrainian private intelligence firm "Dallas Analytics" and shared with the British newspaper "The Guardian." This revelation contrasts with recent statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who tweeted last month that Russia was doing "very little, if anything, to help Iran." However, Western intelligence agencies have asserted that Russia is arming Iran and providing satellite imagery that could aid Tehran in targeting American forces. These agencies have also warned that Moscow intends to transfer explosive-laden drones to Iran for use against the United States and Israel.
