Russia secretly assisting Iran to develop hypersonic cruise missiles

Breaking

Russia is providing covert assistance to Iran in developing hypersonic cruise missiles, according to reporting by the Financial Times. This represents one of the most significant military technology transfer programmes between the two nations to be exposed.

The cooperation began in 2023 and has continued throughout 2024, according to the investigation. The development of hypersonic missiles would substantially enhance Iran’s military capabilities and regional deterrent.

This partnership underscores deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, particularly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent international isolation.
