The missiles are expected to be sent to a military training ground called Ashuluk for testing and further preparation for battlefield use.
Satellite images showed a cargo ship flying the Russian flag. It is suspected of delivering ballistic missiles from Iran that landed in a Russian port a week ago; Sky News wrote this on Wednesday, September 11.
It was noted that the Port Olya 3 ship transported about 220 short-range ballistic missiles in the Caspian Sea to the Russian Federation for further use in the war in Ukraine.
The source said the ship arrived at the Russian port on September 4.
Satellite images reviewed by the Sky News Data & Forensics team show the ship was in the port of Olya in the Astrakhan region that day.
Vessel tracking data shows that Port Olya 3 was in the Iranian port of Amirabad just six days earlier, on August 29.
“The Port Olya 3 ship delivered about 220 short-range ballistic missiles in the Caspian Sea to the Russian Federation,” the publication wrote.
After arriving in Russia, the Fateh-360 ballistic missiles, which have a range of more than 70 miles, were loaded onto a large cargo train, the source said.
The missiles are expected to be sent to a military test site called Ashuluk for testing and further preparation for battlefield use.
Earlier, the media reported that Iran had sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. In this regard, Tehran officially denied the supply of missiles.
However, the previous day, Iranian MP Ahmad Bakhshaesh Ardestani admitted that his country had indeed supplied Moscow with ballistic missiles.
Subsequently, the Charge d’Affaires of Iran in our state, Shahriar Amouzegar, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
Afterwards, Iran denied the transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia and said that the sanctions imposed by the United States did not solve the problem, but aggravated it.
