Russia secretly helps Iran develop supersonic cruise missiles
–
Neutral summary
Russia has been secretly helping Iran develop advanced supersonic cruise missiles, according to a Financial Times investigation citing leaked documents. The programme, codenamed C430L, is described as one of the most significant known transfers of military technology from Moscow to Tehran. The multi-year project, which began in 2023, has involved some of Russia's most experienced missile specialists. The main goal was to develop a ramjet propulsion system, an engine with no moving parts that allows missiles to sustain flight at several times the speed of sound. Defence analysts said the technology was almost certainly intended for anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles, potentially threatening US warships in the region.
