Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sept. 6, citing unnamed U.S. and European officials.
Washington informed its allies about Tehran’s move in the past few days, sources told the WSJ. The exact type and number of the missiles handed over to Moscow were not specified.
Reuters reported in August, citing unnamed intelligence sources, that Russia may receive “hundreds” of Fath-360 short-range missiles and other ballistic missiles from Iran.
Fire a bunch of them and you run out sooner. But juicing the Iranian economy with Russian spending isn’t going to hurt the Houthis in the slightest. No more than Ukraine clearing Raytheon’s shelves will hurt US production capacity. If there are eager buyers, these factories will speed up units produced.
