Senior Kremlin officials are in contact with Iran and North Korea and are offering them “unprecedented” support in exchange for receiving ballistic missiles. It seems that Russia has exhausted its stockpile of weapons, so the country is trying to obtain more weapons that could include hundreds of ballistic missiles
Senior Kremlin officials have offered “unprecedented military support” to the disputed countries, Iran and North Korea, in an attempt to buy advanced weapons from them. Britain has warned that Russia’s attempt to buy advanced weapons from Iran and North Korea comes with unprecedented support for dictators Kim Jong Un of North Korea and Ibrahim Raisi, the president of Iran.
It appears that Russia has teamed up with countries that may sell it advanced weapons, having apparently exhausted its stockpile of weapons, so the country is trying to obtain more weapons that could include hundreds of ballistic missiles. This is reported The Daily Star.
In a speech at the UN Security Council in New York, British Ambassador to the UN Barbara Woodward said: “Russia is now trying to obtain additional weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles, in return Russia is offering Iran unprecedented military support. We are concerned that Russia intends to supply Iran with military components are more advanced, which will allow Iran to strengthen its weapons capability.”
The spokesman for the National Security Council of the White House, John Kirby, added that “there is real concern about the deepening of the developing partnership between Iran and Russia.” Ambassador Woodward noted the concern in Britain regarding Russia “seeking to obtain weapons from North Korea and other countries with heavy sanctions.”
