Russia delivery of Su-35 fighter jets comes as Iran ties deepen
Heydari simply stated that while most of the weaponry will reach Iran soon; he said that the fighter jets would arrive by Iran’s new year, which falls on 21 March.
Since the start of the Ukraine conflict, Iran and Russia have deepened their cooperation and Tehran has delivered military drones to Moscow for its war. The supply of the drones has resulted in more stringent sanctions from the US and European Union.
