Iran could arrive first 3 Su-35 fighters from Russia: what is known (video)
The OSINT Analysis with Nick Tendar claims that the planes are still in colors that have been intended for the Egyptian military-air forces. It is worth noting that at the end of 2022, Western intelligence reported agreements between Iran and the Russian Federation for the supply of Su-35 fighters in exchange for military assistance. Joe Baiden's administration has facts to supply the Kremlin to Tehran of Modern Weapons, including air defense systems, helicopters and fighters.
Already in January 2023, a member of the Parliamentary Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy, Iran, Shahar Heyari, confirmed the intention to purchase Russian fighter jets. The planes were to argue after March 21.
The CSIS Strategic and International Research Center in its study on April 14 reported that the Kremlin sold Iran's more than 60 Su-35 aircraft in exchange for thousands of drones, which the Russian Federation uses for strokes on critical infrastructure and double-use infrastructure. The authors refer to this statement on Rand Corporation since October 2022. Experts write that the Russian Federation really sold more than 60 Su-35 aircraft.
It is also known that in the Russian Federation there are storage fighters Su-35s, which were made for Egypt. They ordered 24 aircraft for $ 2 billion, but at the last moment Cairo refused to purchase. We will remind, on April 12 the media wrote that Iran secretly tries to agree with the Russian Federation about the supply of component for rocket fuel. On April 5, investigators outlined data from the mail ex -deputy of the Russian Federation Baghdasarov.
