Previously, there were US media reports that the Russian army wanted to purchase a large number of drones from Iran for Ukraine's battlefield operations. Few people believe in this. If Ukraine buys other people's weapons, it is understandable, but Russia cannot understand it. Russia is not only the top three military power in the world today, but also a major arms sales power that is comparable to the United States in arms exports. It is too late for others to buy Russian weapons. Why has it fallen into Russia to buy Iran's weapons now?
But this is true. In the battle report picture released by the Ukrainian army, the wreckage of the Witness 136 drone from Iran appeared, but the drone from Iran has Russian letters printed on it, which clearly shows that the Russian army is a specially customized style. Maybe the transaction between the two sides began very early. In the retaliation operation against Ukraine against the attack on the Crimea Bridge, the Russian army not only used a large number of missiles, , but also dispatched a large number of drones. These drones were all from Iran. There are also reports that the Iranian drones ordered by the Russian army were not only here, but more than 2,000 subsequently arrived.
seems to be that these drones have very good results. It is also possible that the Russian military's missile inventory is really running out as soon as the United States said. Recently, there have been news from the US media that the Russian military has once again reached an arms purchase agreement with Iran. In addition to buying more drones, Iran's two ballistic missiles were also purchased. It is reported that these two ballistic missiles are Fatah 110 and Zol Fagaard, both of which belong to the short-range ballistic missile . According to officials who disclosed the news, the former can reach 300 kilometers and the latter can reach 700 kilometers. Therefore, it can be further concluded that the Russian army should be the C/D model in the Fatah 110 series, because the range of the A/B model is only 250 kilometers; as for those with a range of more than 700 kilometers, it has an exclusive name and will no longer be named by Fatah, such as Zol Fagaard, which is also the most common one among the Fatah series missiles.
Fatah 110C/D and Zol Fagaard missiles both use inertia + satellite correction guidance. In addition to the Fatah 110C, the satellite navigation of the other two can be used in addition to using GPS as the navigation signal, and can also use Russian Gronas navigation. Although the US GPS system does not restrict anyone's use. Any country in the world can use GPS to guide its own missiles, the United States is the one that has the initiative. At some point, the United States can completely shut down the GPS services over the battlefield, so that all these missiles guided using GPS are scrapped. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that its guidance function can be used normally on the battlefield like Ukraine, which is full of US satellites. Therefore, the Russian army is likely to use the 300-kilometer range missile of the Fatah 110D model and the 700-kilometer range missile of the Zol Fagal.
No one has any questions about Iran's drone technology, but everyone has some questions about this missile technology, especially this advanced ballistic missile. With Iran's strength, it is true that it can be created, but can it really ensure the accuracy of the strike? If you don't hit it, it's better not to buy it, as it will only waste money and make the opponent's Wujun laugh. In fact, the US military is most familiar with whether Iranian missiles can be accurately fired. Before that, the US military launched an attack on Iran's important military figure, Soleimani, , and used 3 missiles to kill him at Baghdad Airport. In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps soon launched a retaliation operation called "Soleimani". It launched 10 Fatah 313 missiles against the US military's Al-Assad base in Iraq, and all 10 missiles hit the target. Nine hits the runway and hangar directly, causing the base airport to be scrapped on the spot. This shows how accurate the Iranian missile is.
For the Russian army, this short-range ballistic missile is what they need most at the moment. Although the Russian army has more powerful and advanced dagger and zircon hypersonic missiles, these missiles are advanced and also represent an increase in costs. Ukraine can drag it on unscrupulously because the entire NATO organization provided him with help behind the scenes. Russia is different. It would be good to maintain normal expenses. If we fight a protracted war with Ukraine as before when mobilizing, even if the Russian army wins this war, it will pay a huge price. This is the ending that the entire NATO organization, especially the United States, wants to see.
In order to resolve this conflict as soon as possible, it is the key to directly spend the smallest price to resolve this conflict, so these missiles from Iran are the best choice. First, it is purchased directly without consuming much missile inventory. Although the Russian army has many missiles, the cost is not cheap, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to supplement it. Generally, it saves as much as possible. Targets that can be used to deal with Iranian drones generally do not use missiles. Secondly, these missiles from Iran are cheaper. Although the Russian military's caliber and Iskander are much cheaper than similar products in the United States, Iran is following the "migrant workers' technology". Under the sanctions of the United States, most of Iran's military equipment use civilian accessories, which leads to their equipment being extremely cheap. The previous Witness 136 was that the cost was only US$20,000-30,000 per aircraft, and similar equipment is often cheaper than Russia's own production. The Russian army's procurement this time can also prove the Russian army's determination and cannot be delayed like this. Now winter is coming, and 300,000 mobilized troops have been trained, and these missiles will follow them to the front line to end the conflict.
