Fox News • • world
Key Points:
- Internal Russian defense documents reveal Moscow's significant role in building up Iran's arsenal ahead of its conflict with the U.S., including a contract for 90 precision-guided missile launchers destined for Tehran.
- The contract, identified as "K-10," involves APU-L twin-rail launchers designed to carry Russia's LMUR precision-guided missiles, with shipments scheduled from late 2024 through December 2025.
- Evidence links Russian military hardware, such as Yak-130 aircraft and Mi-28 attack helicopters, to Iran, with internal records and Iranian state media confirming deliveries and service entry.
- Despite these findings, the Trump administration has downplayed Russia's role, asserting that Russian support has not materially affected U.S. military operations in the region.
- The U.S. has taken steps to disrupt Iran's foreign weapons procurement, sanctioning individuals and networks involved in acquiring Chinese-made man-portable air-defense systems to bolster Iran's military capabilities.
