Iran has received another batch of Russian AMN-59095S-15 Spartak armored vehicles, designed for patrolling, reconnaissance, and transporting personnel in high-threat areas. The previous delivery of similar vehicles was recorded in February 2025, indicating an increase in the pace of military-technical cooperation between Russia and Iran against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions in the region.
According to sources in the defense industry, the new batch includes at least 20 units of armored vehicles. The vehicles were spotted near a military base in the Isfahan province, where they are believed to be undergoing testing and preparation of Iranian crews. The Russian side has not provided official comments, but sources in the defense industry confirm that the contract for the supply of "Spartaks" was concluded back in 2023 and provides for the phased transfer of equipment over three years.
