Russia has reportedly transferred Iskander missile systems and Murmansk-BN electronic warfare systems to Iran, using IL-76 military aircraft. This follows threats from Iran to retaliate against Israel for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination. The systems enhance Iran's capabilities, with Murmansk-BN suppressing satellite navigation over 5,000 km and Iskander potentially including R-500 cruise missiles. High-level meetings between Russian and Iranian officials further solidify this military cooperation.
