Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States and NATO have been supplying Ukraine with a large number of heavy weapons, making it seem that the Russian army has suffered repeated setbacks on the battlefield. However, the Russian army is gradually growing on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the covert supporters are gradually revealed, and who is this behind-the-scenes supporter?
First, let's look at the various types of combat materiel purchased by the Russian army.
The first category of materiel is those used directly on the battlefield, such as body armor and steel helmets. Russia has imported these military materiel on a large scale from a country in Asia, which can meet the protection needs of front-line troops in just one month.
The second category is dual-use products, especially drones. It is reported that Russia spent $100 million to import a batch of drones from a company in an Asian country, and these drones seem to be excellent in solving problems such as Russian artillery aiming and ballistic correction.
The third category is ammunition, which the Russian army also imports in large quantities from this country to solve its own supply problems.
So, which country can export these materials on a large scale? As you might have guessed, one of the most likely exporting countries is Iran.
With its complete defense industrial system, Iran has provided Russia with a large number of urgently needed weapons and combat materials, meeting the actual needs of the Russian army. This is also an important reason why Iran's military strength and diplomacy, especially its close alliance with Russia, make the United States dare not rashly take military action against Iran.
Iran's export of large quantities of weapons and military materiel to Russia has several interpretations:
First of all, Iran has demonstrated its strong defense scientific research strength by exporting military products in order to establish an "Iranian brand" in the international arms market. In any local war, new types of weapons need to be tested in real combat. Just like the air battle in the Bekaa Valley, Israel's F15 and F126 demonstrated their performance through actual combat. The Russian-Ukrainian war has become a "testing ground" for Iranian military products, and the performance of these products in real combat will become their "authoritative proof".
Judging from the current situation of Iranian equipment tests, Iran's UAVs have excellent performance, especially those called "small motorcycles", which have performed well in suicide strikes and destroyed a large number of Ukrainian targets. In addition, Iran's reconnaissance drones have also become an important tool for the ballistic correction of Russian artillery. The Iranian military industry has won the trust of the Russian army with a relatively low price and excellent performance, filling the gap in the field of UAVs of the Russian army. This gives the Iranian military industry a solid foundation in the future export market.
Second, by exporting military products to Russia, Iran expects to obtain opportunities for Russia to provide more advanced heavy weapons. Looking at Iran's military exports to Russia, they are mainly urgently needed "light equipment" such as drones, helmets and body armor. However, Iran's own military has weaknesses in some areas, especially in terms of aircraft equipment. Iran's air force used to be equipped with American-made F14 fighters, but it was affected by U.S. sanctions and it was difficult to obtain parts maintenance, resulting in the aging performance of its existing military aircraft. Iran urgently needs to introduce fourth-generation semi-fighter jets, such as the Su-35 or J-10C, to bridge the technological gap with the U.S. military. Therefore, Iran's supply of military products to Russia is actually an exchange in the expectation that Russia will provide Iran with more advanced military equipment.
Third, military cooperation between Iran and Russia will not only help deepen comprehensive cooperation between the two countries from a diplomatic point of view, but also help stabilize the situation in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East. Russia, as a strong ally of Iran, provides Iran with a solid backing, making the United States dare not rashly take military action against Iran. In addition, Iran has established diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and cooperation with Syria is also deepening, which further strengthens Russia's affairs in the Middle East
has laid a solid foundation for the future development of the Middle East. This close cooperation is not only military, but also covers economic, energy and geopolitical fields, making relations between Iran and Russia increasingly close.
To sum up, Iran exports a large number of weapons and military materials to Russia not only to meet Russia's actual needs, but also to demonstrate its strength in the field of defense research. This cooperation not only helps Iran build its reputation in the international arms market, but also provides an opportunity for Iran to seek access to more advanced heavy weapons. In addition, military cooperation between Iran and Russia has deepened comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, strengthened stability in the Middle East and laid a solid foundation for future development.
Ultimately, this close cooperation between Iran and Russia is not only beneficial to both sides, but also has a positive impact on regional and international peace in the Middle East. Over time, this partnership is likely to continue to grow, making greater contributions to regional security and stability.
