Iran has transferred a batch of ballistic missiles to Russia. Probably, these are short-range missiles, according to The Wall Street Journal.

According to the agency, Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. This step will give Moscow another powerful military tool to use in the war against Ukraine.

The WSJ writes that the move comes as Russia has increased its missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, killing dozens of civilians in recent days.

The United States has informed its allies of Iran's move over the past few days.

What preceded it

In August, Reuters reported that Iran may soon transfer short-range Fath 360 ballistic missiles to Russia. It was reported that Russia might receive several hundred of these missiles. At the same time, Iran has increased the production of ballistic missiles and drones after signing a cooperation agreement with Russia.

Also today, the media reported that Russia may soon receive a batch of two types of ballistic missiles.
