REPORT: Russia Agreed to Supply Iran With 90 Helicopter Missile Launchers
Leaked defense-industry records describe a planned supply arrangement, but do not establish whether the launchers were delivered.
Russia arranged to supply Iran with 90 helicopter-mounted launchers for guided missiles, according to reports citing leaked defense-industry documents.
A production schedule drawn up by Russian missile manufacturer Vympel in May 2024 listed the launchers under an export contract designated "K-10," according to the reports. Separate internal paperwork identified that designation as Iran, according to the report.
The planned deliveries were scheduled between late 2024 and December 2025. The documents do not establish whether the launchers were ultimately delivered.
The launchers are designed for the LMUR, a guided missile fired from attack helicopters that Russian forces have used in Ukraine. The reported arrangement offers another indication of military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.
Reports say the documents were obtained by Dallas Analytics, a Ukrainian private intelligence firm. The reported supply arrangement has not been independently confirmed by Tachlis Daily.
