Russia is believed to be using the ammunition to replenish supplies expended during its invasion of Ukraine.
Iran has provided Russia with about 100 million bullets, 300,000 artillery shells and ammunition for rocket launchers, grenades and mortars and is planning to send more ammunition, Sky News reported on Wednesday, citing a security source.
The source said that two Russian cargo ships left a port in Iran in January, transporting the ammunition to Russia via the Caspian Sea and that Russia had paid for the material in cash.
Sky News speculated that Russia is using the ammunition to replenish supplies expended during its invasion of Ukraine.
The report noted that it was impossible to independently verify the quantity of ammunition that was actually included in the shipments and that one expert said the amount sounded high.
The Jerusalem Post reported last week that Iran requested S-400 air defense batteries from Russia.
According to the report, Ukraine said that Russia had received 2400 drones from Iran.
The White House said in February that the US had information that Iran had sent artillery and tank rounds to Russia and that Russia was considering sending fighter jets in return.
The result is a disgusting combination of aiding and abetting Russian war crimes while in bed with the America hating Islamic extremist Mullahs of Iran
Yes, indeed---they are clearly supporting the new axis of evil!
What happened to the 6 BILLION rounds that Obama hoarded?
The US is using Ukraine in its proxy war with Russia, while Iran uses Russia in its proxy war with the US. Not sure where they are getting these numbers from but they seem rather high. I’m sure Israel would like to draw the US into their tussle with Iran, so I take anything they say with a grain of salt.
I’m sure Israel is pleased with Iran lowering it’s ammo stockpile.
You certainly are scum.
“America hating”. Also a good way to describe the American left and most of the institutions it controls. I don’t support the modern globohomo anti-white, anti-Christian, LGBTQ, no borders kid piddling America. There are two Americas… us and them. They’re in control of most of it. Hopefully they fail.
Coups have consequences. 100 million rounds of ammo sounds like an exaggeration also.
100 million small arms rounds is nothing. 2k rounds a year for 50k soldiers. Not even enough to stay proficient on a specific weapon platform by any serious soldier’s standard, much less engage in sustain combat ops.
Iran wouldn’t be doing this if Russia wasn’t running out of ammo
interesting ...

Two can play the logical fallacy game:
We know that Joe Biden supports Ukraine.
So by extrapolating just a little, it appears that Pro Ukraine Freepers are condoning the actions of Joe Biden who took showers with his daughter and likes to touch and sniff little girls.
The result is a disgusting combination of incest and pedophilia which means that pro Ukraine Freepers are….
I’m guessing that these shipments are being tracked and will be destroyed before they reach the front…
“RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA”? Methinks Hillary nostalgia is getting the better of you.
Those here supporting Russia have always been playing the game you mention.
Being neo isolationists, they can’t separate their American politics from world events. Their views are so narrow, the world really doesn’t exist
I’m guessing that these shipments are being tracked and will be destroyed before they reach the front…
FWIW
I heard from an anonymous source that Iran purchased this ammunition from Afghanistan using pallets of USD.
Would not be surprised…
