Iran’s provision of around 400 missiles includes many from the Fateh-110 family of short-range ballistic weapons, such as the Zolfaghar, three Iranian sources said. This road-mobile missile is capable of striking targets at a distance of between 300 and 700 km (186 and 435 miles), experts say.

Iran’s defence ministry and the Revolutionary Guards - an elite force that oversees Iran’s ballistic missile programme - declined to comment. Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shipments began in early January after a deal was finalised in meetings late last year between Iranian and Russian military and security officials that took place in Tehran and Moscow, one of the Iranian sources said.

    No, you are arguing a straw man, I’m saying we can’t expect to solve this for free, or close to it.
    Russia is trying to redefine European borders by waging war against a peaceful neighbor, no way we should silently stand by and accept that, because if you don’t oppose a bully, the bullying will get worse.
    Also the increased help to Ukraine is NOT pro war, but an attempt to end the war on Ukraines terms and not Russia, who is the aggressor, and the ONLY de facto pro war country in this situation. Russia can end this war NOW, bu just going home!!
    You are parroting Russian propaganda, whether you know it or not.
