The United States has accused Iran of supplying Russia with Fath-360 ballistic missiles, stating that the Russian Armed Forces could use them "within weeks." Military experts have cited the reasons why Moscow began receiving Iranian missiles. This is reported by Breaking Defence.
Over the past two decades, Iran has developed one of the most advanced arsenals of ballistic missiles, and most of them are short- or medium-range missiles.
According to him, the Russian Armed Forces can use the Fath-360 at the tactical level to exhaust the enemy. Samaaan claims that Moscow is increasing purchases of Iranian missiles due to problems with its own production.
The Fath-360 is a derivative of Iran's most accurate ballistic missile, the Fateh family of single-stage solid-propellant short-range ballistic missiles.
Another expert, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, Jan Casapoglu, stated that the Fath-360 is a "classic tactical ballistic missile", whose "rapid launch and low cost make it a formidable weapon".
All experts agreed that Russia and Iran are strengthening military-technical cooperation. This could lead to a shift in the balance of power in the Middle East and other regions, they concluded.
