Iran does not transfer launchers for its ballistic missiles to russia - media

Along with the Fath-360 short-range ballistic missiles, Iran has not provided russia with the mobile launchers needed to launch them.

This was reported to Reuters by three informed sources - a European diplomat, a representative of European intelligence and an American official.

According to the American interlocutor of Reuters, Iran did not supply russia with launchers at the time of the announcement by the United States about the supply of Iranian missiles.

A representative of European intelligence said without further clarification that he did not expect provision Moscow with launchers.

Experts interviewed by Reuters cited several reasons why russia did not receive launchers for the Fath-360.

One of them is that Moscow may plan to modify trucks to transport missiles. Another is Tehran's attempt to leave room for maneuver in negotiations with Western powers.

To date, Iran's military assistance to russia's campaign in Ukraine includes the supply of hundreds of single-action unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery ammunition, and extensive support for russia's domestic production of UAVs.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that since he took office at the end of July, his country has not transferred weapons to russia.
