Iran may wish they kept their drones and missiles in their own inventory.
“Russia-Iran Ties Being Strained by Parallel Conflicts”
“As Iran ponders strike on Israel, Moscow and Tehran weigh how much they can afford to help each other”
“The parallel escalations in the Middle East and in the Russian war with Ukraine are creating fresh challenges for the budding partnership between Iran and Russia, two nations that have grown increasingly close because of their shared hostility to the United States.
Russia and Iran can fill gaps in each other’s intelligence and military capabilities—Russia makes sophisticated air defenses and aircraft, while Iran has developed powerful drones and missiles—as they confront foes in their own regions.
Iran has said it will mount a forceful retaliation against Israel for the July 31 killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Russia, surprised by the Ukrainian invasion of its Kursk region, is scrambling to respond as Kyiv readies its first F-16 aircraft and moves to destroy Russian air defenses.
This convergence of events means that each country has little spare capacity to offer the weapons that the other needs most—at least for now.
“Iran risks that what it had conceived as a contained military action against Israel turns into an all-out war,” said Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group. “If that happens, Iran needs every missile that it has—in the same way that Russia needs every missile defense system that it has.””

“Russia sends 447 goats to North Korea after Kim Jong Un sucks up to Putin”
“Goats for guns?
After a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in June at which the international pariahs discussed mutual cooperation, Moscow has delivered a gift to Pyongyang.
Russia sent, drumroll, 447 goats to the North Korean city of Rason, the Russian agriculture safety watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor said in a press release.
The goats, which were exported from Russia’s Leningrad region, represent a first batch of farm animals that Russia intends to deliver to North Korea. The goats will provide dairy products to local children to relieve North Korea’s food shortages, mainly caused by government-related policies, with the situation getting worse during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Human Rights Watch, 10.7 million out of 25.9 million people in North Korea are malnourished, and 18 percent of children have impaired growth and development due to chronic malnutrition.”
