UNITED NATIONS, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Russia is attempting to obtain more weapons from Iran, including hundreds of ballistic missiles, and offering Tehran an unprecedented level of military and technical support in return, Britain's U.N. Ambassador Barbara Woodward said on Friday.

Since August Iran has transferred hundreds of drones - also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - to Russia, which had used them to "kill civilians and illegally target civilian infrastructure" in Ukraine, Woodward said.
"Russia is now attempting to obtain more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles," Woodward told reporters.
"In return, Russia is offering Iran an unprecedented level of military and technical support. We're concerned that Russia intends to provide Iran with more advanced military components, which will allow Iran to strengthen their weapons capability," she said.

She also said Britain was "almost certain that Russia is seeking to source weaponry from North Korea (and) other heavily sanctioned states, as their own stocks palpably dwindle."
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council later on Friday that Moscow had already refuted "on many occasions" the accusations that Russia was receiving military supplies from Iran.

"The military industrial complex in Russia can work perfectly fine and doesn't need anyone's assistance, whereas the Ukrainian military industry does not basically exist and is being assisted by the Western industry," he said.
The Iranian and North Korean missions to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Woodward's remarks

Woodward spoke ahead of the Security Council meeting on Friday, requested by Russia, on weapons from the Ukraine conflict that Russia says are "falling into the hands of bandits and terrorists" elsewhere in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Iran last month acknowledged it had supplied Moscow with drones, but said they were sent before the war in Ukraine. Russia has denied its forces used Iranian drones to attack Ukraine.

Iran has promised to provide Russia with surface-to-surface missiles, in addition to more drones, two senior Iranian officials and two Iranian diplomats told Reuters in October.

The United States said on Wednesday that it has seen the continued provision of Iranian drones to Russia, but that Washington had not seen evidence that Iran has transferred ballistic missiles to Russia for use against Ukraine.

The United Nations is examining "available information" about accusations that Iran supplied Russia with drones, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council in a report earlier this week in the face of Western pressure to send experts to Ukraine to inspect downed drones.

Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Ukraine say the supply of Iranian-made drones to Russia violates a 2015 U.N. Security Council resolution enshrining the Iran nuclear deal.

Russia argues that there is no mandate for Guterres to send U.N. experts to Ukraine to investigate the origin of the drones.

Guterres said in the latest report that the transfer of drones or ballistic missiles - with a range of more than 186 miles (300 km) - from Iran to another country would require prior approval from the Security Council.

Russia still is an indistrial giant. And please spare us your non sense. Iran has made unbelievable advances in the field of missile technology. That's what you cannot or do not want to believe.

The treaty between Russia and USA became a barrier on the way of Russia's advances in that range (500-5500 KM). In the long range missiles spectrum, Russia is unrivaled.

I never said anything about Iran, I actually admire you lot becoz of progress yourl have made despite being under sanctions for so long.

That's what you cannot or do not want to believe.

Lol you really want to compare Indian missile and rocket technology with Iran?

I dont see any operational history of ur missile, but iran did. Iran is the master of tactical BM, even one of mine SK friend admit it, and he is a fan of tactical weapon. After the successes of Iranian others become more motivated developing such platform.

u did good progress with Russian backed space technology , later EU contributed much but we admire u bcz u carried the progress on ur own.

Iran lacks a mature space technology like but it wont be a problem any longer. may be u dont know what i mean. both cryogenic and solid engine , anytime soon.

Tell me what land based intermediate ballistic and cruise missile that America produced between late 80s to 2020?

WTF you going on about? Russia needs as many arms as possible. Obviously it is running out and requires a quick supply. This has nothing to do with Russian ability or capability.

Indians being Indians. They don't have a dick to begin with, but like to do many dick comparisons.

When USSR collapsed, all Jewish brains go out from there.

Now Israel develop things like Hetz-3 and Iron Dome.

And Russia doesnt develop a sht.

Potential contenders for an Iranian SRBM sale to Russia:

There is a variety of different guidance (e.g. GNSS, EO/IIR, ARH) and warhead (e.g. HE, fragmentation) options for these missiles. They are accurate enough and probably the cheapest missiles in their respective classes in existence.

Nice 30% crash rate missiles, gonna change nothing just like Iskander and others changed nothing

Iran doesn't even have ICBMs.

Iran made 0 advances in the field of missile technology, all it did was run right behind advances in missile technology.

Thank you for your valuable input as usual.

Well, should be a good opportunity for Iran to open up its arm exports abroad and good advertisement..since Iran is basically the only country(along sith North korea. Lol ) that Russia now depends on for kilotary supplies. Lool Shows how much soviet Russia has fallen to be honest. This will be another blow to their pride, no matter how much we look at it. Especially the fact that it's just against a fairly weak country like Ukraine who shares a land border close to Russia, so its not even an expeditionary war yet Russia is struggling so much and even losing at times. I'm sure that if Putin knew that this war will turn up in such an embarrassing way for Russia then he wouldn't have started this war if he had to go back in time. Funny enough even China has refused to sell or provide him with any military aid whatsoever since even the Chinese don't want to set a precedent of supporting the unprovoked invasion of an internationally recognised sovereign country by another one. Russia is quite isolated to be honest even more so than i thought they would. When your only real support is the 2 most isolated countries on earth(i.e Iran/North Korea and war torn puppet state Syria) then you know you are quite isolated.

Then what is the need to include more NATO members if Russia is a paper tiger?

Also, "Funny enough even China has refused to sell or provide him with any military aid whatsoever since even the Chinese don't want to set a precedent of supporting the unprovoked invasion of an internationally recognised sovereign country by another one."

Really?

What exactly was the 2003 US invasion of Iraq?

 

[Raghfarm007]

Shows how much Iran has advanced in reality that its wepons have become the real game changers in this war. The west is begging Iran not to supply them to Russa, so not to destroy Ukrain even more. The Ukis have already admitted they have nothing to counter Iranian missiles with....

Russia is fighting the entire NATO single handedly and has shown how pathetic and weak they are.

The dictator in chief of EU recently admitted more than 100,000 dead Uki soilders in 8 months of war... just to put that in perspective, Iran had 230,000 total deaths in 8 years of war with Iraq.... and the west was supplying chemical weapons to Saddam to use againt Iranians.
