Iran Sold $2.7 Billion Missiles to Russia

Iran Sold $2.7 Billion Missiles to Russia

Iran has sold nearly $3 billion worth of missiles to Russia over the past four years.

This includes hundreds of Fath 360 short-range ballistic missiles and surface-to-air missiles.

Iran has also supplied Shahed-136 drones and shared technology to help Russia make them.

The two countries have become closer since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Iran and Russia signed a strategic partnership in 2025, but it doesn't include a mutual-defense pact.

Russia is also building a trade route with Iran to try to avoid sanctions.

Both countries have not responded to requests for comments on these deals.
