Iran’s provision of around 400 missiles includes many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, such as the Zolfaghar, three Iranian sources said. This road-mobile missile is capable of striking targets at a distance of between 300 and 700 km (186 and 435 miles), experts say.

Iran’s defence ministry and the Revolutionary Guards - an elite force that oversees Iran’s ballistic missile programme - declined to comment. Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shipments began in early January after a deal was finalised in meetings late last year between Iranian and Russian military and security officials that took place in Tehran and Moscow, one of the Iranian sources said.

      Why are y’all constantly so delusional that you can’t even comprehend an American who understands any small part of global politics?

      If we spend trillions fighting Russia in a cold war, we won’t have the money to fix any of the many real problems we have, most important of which is our goddawful healthcare system that kills thousands of Americans every month. The estimate is 50-100,000 preventable deaths, every single year.

      Take some goddamn pride in your country and help us fix it. You’re just a crab in a bucket of boiling water, ensuring no other crabs escape if you can’t.
