"Ukraine does not have the means to protect against Iranian ballistic missiles, said Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces"

"Unfortunately, we have information that Russia will strengthen its capabilities with the help of Iranian ballistic missiles. Our specialists say that the best defense against them is to destroy them in warehouses," he said."

According to Ignat, the world will be able to help Ukraine if it finds mechanisms to prevent the delivery of Iranian missiles to the Russian Federation.

Ukraine don't have anti ballistic missile capabilities - according the Ukrop air force command

Hitting warehouses problematic since 300-700 km range mobile systems , HIMARS only 80 km

Can't wait when the fireworks starts ☺️ will be lit

Combat support role would be more interested (strategic is straight forward) , with 5-10 Fateh you can destroy a ukrop stronghold or village full with ukrop troops . (Russia don't doing it because they don't have many spare ones, soon they have - hell unleashed)

Best bait them into fighting or counter attack then blow everything up when they assembled with 500 kg warheads x10 missile can kill everything using shockwaves and shrapnels in 30-50 meters circle ⭕️

~ 5 acres complete devastation in well selected pattern using 10 but most cases only few enough to hit troop concentrations

Usual ukrop attack groups is 5 BMP and 1-2 tanks , 1-2 missile enough to take all them out when they bogged down in fighting or recon drone spotted them in the preparation phase

Report GPS location and in minutes arrives Problem with suicide drones they only kill what they hit 🎯 not all around

"Iran has agreed to transfer ballistic missiles and a new batch of drones to Russia," the Reuters news agency reported, citing two senior Iranian officials and diplomats. The agency clarifies that on October 6, former Deputy Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Moher, together with representatives of the IRGC, visited Moscow for talks.

"The Russians had asked for more drones and those Iranian ballistic missiles with improved accuracy, particularly the Fateh and Zolfaghar missiles family," said one of the Iranian diplomats, who was briefed about the trip.

Also, one of the members of the deal said that Russia had asked for "hundreds" of medium- and short-range missiles, to which Iran agreed, but with reservations about the impossibility of providing such a number of missiles at once. (They don't have a large stock of medium range missiles, but can send several hundred short range ones now)

It was agreed that the missiles will start being delivered in batches in about 10 days.

The US intelligence community is confident that Iran continues to build up military ties with Moscow. It is already supplying Russia with combat drones - and is also preparing to send new modifications of kamikaze drones that can fly over a distance of 2,000 kilometers.

But the Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar medium-range surface-to-surface missiles can now be added to the drones. They are the main types of Iranian missiles sent for export. The first is capable of flying 300 kilometers, the second - 700.

In addition, against the background of the Ukrainian crisis, Iran is trying to quickly adopt its analog of the American HIMARS missile systems. The new Iranian systems - called Fateh 360-are similar to HIMARS, but their missile speeds are twice as fast. The firing range is 80-100 kilometers, the missiles use Russian Glonass for guidance.

It is quite possible that these missile systems will be able to receive a “baptism of fire” on the Ukrainian front at some point. American military experts note that Iranian weapons have their drawbacks, but their main advantages are simplicity of design and low cost.

The supply of weapons to Russia will certainly lead to new sanctions from Washington. However, against the background of the failure of negotiations with Biden on a new nuclear deal, Tehran may take such risks. Western markets for its oil are probably closed forever. Therefore, Iran will continue to focus on Russia and China - and at the expense of the Ukrainian conflict, it will try to promote the reputation of its weapons in order to strengthen its position in the global arms market.

Arash 2 is the latest heavy kamikaze drone, carries a warhead weighing more than 100 kg, has a greater speed and range to the target.

It can automatically lock onto air-defence radars that emit radiation.

in its appearance and aerodynamic shape it resembles a cruise missile rather than a UAV-but with a piston engine!

Pictured are Arash-2 with thermal and optical camera in nose.

...

There are some claims that Russian engineers assisted Iran in the development of their drones and that they have all the necessary documentation to produce them in Russia as a way to give Iran plausible deniability to say they don't supply them

(There have been several reports that Russia is getting some of these drones; but I have read other reports which say that Russia requested these newest Iranian drones in September; but the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps turned them down for fear they would fall into the hands of the U.S.)

Another Iranian military transport plane has arrived in Moscow. Russia is getting 500 per month (lots of Iranian cargo planes landing in Moscow) but will be producing their own at 100 a day by the end of the year.

Our source reports that Western partners are warning the Office of the President that the Russians are about to expand their range of unmanned "aerial drones".

A huge number of UAV operators are now being trained in the Russian Federation, as well as mass assembly of drones, which are produced by the RF. We have been insinuating this since the summer.

The only chance for Bankova is that Russia will be negligent about this matter or will once again lose the most of the allocated billions due to corrupton. In the opposite case, this is a very bad sign for the Ukrainian Armed Forces as the transferred Western air defence systems will not be sufficient to repel constant air raids, and it is always difficult and expensive to resupply missiles for NATO armaments.

There's been a telephone conversation between the Russian and US defence ministers

The conversation between the US and Russian defense ministers initiated by Washington was necessary to eliminate misunderstandings and eliminate risks

There are reports that Poland and Lithuania are forward deploying forces with the idea to capture a border district and move in the Belarusian government of their choice, then activate the sleeper cells to cause mischief elsewhere.

The drone is not a big deal in terms of technology but it doesn’t make it a poor weapon system.
136th model is basically a carbon fiber airframe with a two-stroke engine, and 100 pounds of HE inside.
From that I heard Iranians moved the factory to Russia because Israel causes them troubles.

LOL! Everything in this post is fantasy and reads like it came from a yahoo video war-game guide index for available combat assets... description, range, kill-radius, delivery type and explosive force. Including some commentary from a fictitious command central!

The ‘telegram channels’ is a link to some pro-Iran and pro-Russian clown page.

Very funny propaganda stitch-up from the most obscure corners of social media propaganda where this nonsense was culled from.

What a load of crap.

I have studied war my whole life, 22 years in the military, and all I can see is a higher risk for an attacker to try again without fundamental changes in forces, tactics and supply.

These are excellent points. I believe Russia's number one priority in Ukraine is 100 percent control of the four annexed provinces. That's something they don't have right now.

Ukrainian sources, citing Western intelligence services, report. that in Russia the production of “Geraniums” has already been established, in November kamikaze drones of completely Russian production will hit Bandera objects. At the moment, the production capacity is 500 units per month, but soon it will reach 100 units per day.

In the context of this, all “assaults” on Iran lose their practical meaning, since it really no longer has anything to do with strike systems. However, Kyiv continues to insist on them, and not only out of a sense of revenge and “intimidation” of other Russian partners in military-technical cooperation. In this way, he is trying to create the illusion of “responsibility” for painful blows among the Ukrainians themselves.

That whole area is of no strategic importance at all to the USA.

NONE.

Get out your world map and take a good long look at the Black Sea. Russia, or any country for that matter, could control the whole Black Sea and not get one friggan row boat to hell out of it if anyone wanted to prevent.

It is called the Bosphorus Strait.

The Pacific Rim boys and girls. That is the area that we had better pay very close attention.

They can put one submarine, or one missile cruiser off that place and sink 5 or 6 ships and shut the whole thing down for months.

Nobody gets in, and nobody gets out.

And BTW smiley..Turkey controls just a portion of the whole.

Greece controls the bottom end and they aint getting along real well with Turkey at the moment.

They could plug them sons a bitches up so fast it’d make your head spin.

Turkey thinks they are cute. They’ll find out how GD cute they are after that thing gets shut down.

I never said the weapons were bad. I said why would a leading producer of military hardware for the last 80 years need weapons built in Iran which is not known as a producer of sophisticated weapons. Their air force flues 40 year old F14s held together by toothpicks andcrubber bands which are akin to the 57 Chevys still tooling the streets of Havana.

That whole area is of no strategic importance at all to the USA.

It is of primary importance to the deep state.

And don't forget the Biden "son-of-a-bitch" quote:

He got fired!

or Lt. Col. Vindman and his role in Peach-Mint, and he bragged he had been offered the position of Minister of Defense in the Ukraine.

I am utterly against the Ukraine.

But McCuckold wants to send them another $50 billion even if the GOP takes the House and Senate. Why?

Iran Watch
TRACKING IRAN’S UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON CAPABILITIES

A website published by the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control

July 27, 2022

Iran’s missile arsenal is the largest and most diverse in the Middle East. In 2022, U.S. Central Command’s General Kenneth McKenzie stated that Iran possesses “over 3,000” ballistic missiles. This does not include the country’s burgeoning land-attack cruise missile force.[1] Iran has made substantial improvements over the past decade in the precision and accuracy of its missiles, which make them an increasingly potent conventional threat.[2] The focus on precision and accuracy has been accompanied by a self-imposed missile-range limit of 2,000 km, first publicly acknowledged in 2015. Iran could, however, abandon the limit at any time, and indeed is developing a system­—the Khorramshahr—that, if deployed, would seemingly nullify it. Finally, despite an early reliance on liquid-fueled missiles, Iran has since placed a greater emphasis on developing solid-propellant missiles. This trend will likely continue.

“The US intelligence community is confident that Iran continues to build up military ties with Moscow.”

Tisk, tisk. Perhaps if we didn’t want Russia and Iran joining forces, we should have stayed out of Russia’s backyard.

“If we have depleted resources this fast, we aren’t ready to deal with China on any level.”

At the beginning of Ukraine, the German Defense Minister babe stated that she never thought her country would be involved in another war. That’s the mindset of the ENTIRE Western Elite class. There is no way in hell we’re prepared to fight China, Russia, or anyone else.

The REAL MEN who understood the need for being prepared for the worst, so you’d never have to actually fight that war, are long gone in the West...but, unfortunately for us, that’s not the case in other countries.
