Russia is secretly helping Iran develop supersonic cruise missiles, according to information gathered by Reuters. This collaboration represents a significant shift in the military dynamics between the two countries.
The main objective of the C430L program is to help Iran develop a ramjet propulsion system. This type of engine allows a cruise missile to maintain flight several times faster than the speed of sound, making it extremely difficult to intercept.
Sources linked to the Iranian missile program revealed to Reuters that Russian assistance includes technology transfer and specialized technical knowledge. This military cooperation occurs at a time of growing tensions in the Middle East.
Defense experts told Reuters that this partnership could significantly alter the military balance in the region, giving Iran offensive capabilities far superior to what it currently possesses.
