Politico, citing informed diplomatic sources, wrote that it was ammonium perchlorate. The possibility of acquiring it, according to the interlocutors, is being discussed with the Russian company Anozit.
Iranian representatives are also negotiating the purchase of this rocket fuel component in China, but Politico’s interlocutors found it difficult to say with which companies.
Supplying Iran with ammonium perchlorate is prohibited by sanctions imposed on this country because of its nuclear program, reminds Politico.
It is not known exactly how much ammonium perchlorate Iran wants to buy, but according to one of the sources of the publication, we are talking about an amount sufficient to produce thousands of missiles, in particular the Zulfikar type, whose flight range is up to 700 km. Some of these missiles, suggests Politico, may end up in Russia and be used in Ukraine.
The interlocutor of the publication also suggested that we could talk about a more complex scheme, under which China would supply ammonium perchlorate to Iran so that they could make missiles for Russia. Thus, according to a Politico source, China will be able to secretly provide military assistance to Russia.
After the start of a full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, cooperation between Russia and Iran in various sectors, including the military industry, has increased significantly. Thus, Russian troops use kamikaze drones produced in Iran to strike at Ukrainian territory. In addition, it was reported that Iran has supplied Russia with a large amount of ammunition, and is also going to send Fateh-110 and Zulfiqar ballistic missiles.
