Supply of launching installations from Iran to Russia for Fath-360 missiles

According to Reuters, Iran plans to provide Russia with launching installations for short-range ballistic missiles Fath-360. These missiles were sent to Russia last year with the aim of being used in the war against Ukraine.

It is known that Fath-360 missiles have a range of 120 km, which will allow the Russian army to shell positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military facilities located near the border with Russia.
