  • •Russia plans to supply Iran with 90 helicopter missile launchers.
  • •The launchers are intended for advanced guided missiles used in the Ukraine conflict.
  • •Military cooperation between Russia and Iran has significantly increased since 2022.

Russia is reportedly set to supply Iran with 90 helicopter-mounted missile launchers, as detailed in leaked documents from the Russian defense manufacturer Vympel. The launchers are intended for advanced guided missiles used by Russian forces against Ukraine. The documents, obtained by the Ukrainian firm Dallas Analytics, indicate that the launchers are part of an export contract designated 'K-10', which is confirmed to refer to Iran. While the production schedule suggests deliveries may occur between late 2024 and December 2025, it remains unclear if any launchers have been delivered to date. This military cooperation has intensified since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with Iran initially supplying drones to Russia. The US government, particularly under President Donald Trump, has downplayed the extent of Russia's military support for Iran, despite evidence suggesting significant cooperation between the two nations.
