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.

This comment is almost prefect if one reads it as ironical comment on development after 2014 invasion of Ukraine.

So I take it you are pro WW3? Why do you think you will even survive it?

If America continues to engage Russia in a cold war over frozen wastelands that means nothing to us, there is a very real risk of starting WW3. In which case, most of us will die. Ukraine needs to solve its own problems, and so I provided a solution. Boom, war over. Russia is going to win the war eventually anyway, it's just basic math. Why are any of us still wasting all these resources fighting it?

It's all just a question of ego vs intelligence. Whichever side chooses intelligence will end up far better off in the long run.
