On November 5, 2026, it was reported that Russia has agreed to supply Iran with 90 launchers for guided missiles. This decision reflects a deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, despite criticism from Western countries.
Details of the Agreement
According to Western intelligence, Iran has ordered the APU-L and APU-305 launchers, which are designed to launch the Russian lightweight multipurpose guided missile known as LMUR or "Product 305." This missile is capable of hitting moving targets with high precision.
Military Cooperation Between Russia and Iran
This agreement is part of a broader trend in which Russia and Iran are strengthening their military ties amid conflicts in the Middle East. It is known that Iran already possesses Mi-28 helicopters, which can be equipped with these launchers.
International Community's Reaction
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated that Russia is doing "very little, if anything," to support Iran. This remark underscores the tension in relations between the West and countries that are actively cooperating in the military sphere.
