Iran's arms sales to Russia are part of Iran’s efforts to generate revenue to support its deteriorating economy, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).


"CTP-İSW previously assessed that Iran could seek to acquire cash from Russia in return for supplying Russia with missiles. The Prana Network hacker group published documents on February 4 alleging that Russia is paying Iran roughly $4.5 billion per year to import the Iranian Shahed series drones. Iran’s provision of these missile systems could improve Russia’s ability to penetrate Ukrainian air defenses," ISW stressed.
