Irán envía "cientos" de misiles balísitcos a Rusia
September 9, 2024 - Irán ha enviado más de 200 misiles balísticos Fath-360 a Rusia en lo que según funcionarios de Kiev marca una “intensificación grave” del apoyo de Teherán para la invasión de Ucrania por parte de Moscú.
The surface-to-surface missiles have a range of up to 120km and are likely to be used by Russia to strike infrastructure and northern cities close to the border, such as Kharkiv and Sumy, and troop positions and military targets along the front line, including around the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk, according to Ukrainian officials.
The officials said the delivery of the Iranian short-range missiles would allow Russia to deploy its long-range hypersonic Kinzhal missiles – some of the most sophisticated weapons in the Kremlin’s arsenal – to hit targets deeper inside Ukraine. The Kinzhals are more difficult to intercept, with only U.S.-made Patriot air defence systems capable of shooting them down, the FT said.
