Russia is hesitant to buy missiles from Iran because of fears that Ukraine’s retaliatory allies will give it ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 300 km.
It is reported by the Financial Times.
At the same time, sources of the publication believe that Moscow may soon change its position due to the lack of its own missiles.
The Russians found themselves in a hopeless situation. They need missiles,” one of the FT’s interlocutors said.
According to Western forces, Iran has sent hundreds of its drones to Russia, which are used to attack Ukrainian targets. Tehran and Moscow deny this.
Judging by the frequency of contacts between Russia and Iran at different levels, relations between the two countries go beyond military cooperation. Today Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with his Iranian counterpart. Last week, Tehran was visited by the head of “Gazprom” Alexei Miller.
In the near future, the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiulina will go to Iran, the newspaper notes. According to the source, she will discuss the integration of payment systems of Russia and Iran.
