Ukraine war: Iran 'sends hundreds of missiles to Russia' in 'dramatic escalation'

Source: Sky News

A Russian ship delivered the short-range Fatah-360 missiles from Tehran to a port in the Caspian Sea, a Ukrainian source told Sky News on Saturday.

So far it has supplied Vladimir Putin's forces with large quantities of attack drones - as well as artillery shells and ammunition.

hold my beer.

Both countries sent these missiles.

Hard to shoot down when they travel at hypersonic speed and fall from near-space.

Devastating.
