Sep 21, 2024, 10:36 AM

Iran has delivered Fath-360 ballistic missiles to Russia but withheld the necessary mobile launchers, according to U.S. and European sources. This development, reported by Reuters, raises questions about how and when Russia will deploy these missiles. Analysts suggest that Russia may plan to modify trucks to transport the missiles. The withholding of launchers by Iran could be a strategic move to open up space for new negotiations with the West to de-escalate tensions. Washington has indicated that Moscow could begin using these missiles in Ukraine within weeks.
