Iran has secretly supplied Russia with large quantities of bullets, missiles and mortar shells for the war in Ukraine and plans to supply more.
Source. This is reported by the British TV channel Sky News, citing a source in the security forces.
According to the source, two Russian-flagged cargo ships left the Iranian port in January this year, carrying about 100 million bullets, about 300,000 shells, and ammunition for rocket launchers, mortars, and machine guns.
According to the channel's source, both ships headed to Russia had about 200 shipping containers with weapons.
This information comes amid reports that Russia's ammunition stockpile is running low.
Background. As recently reported, Russia has postponed the purchase of Iranian missiles for fear of supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine.
