🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russia has reportedly agreed to supply Iran with 90 helicopter-mounted missile launchers, strengthening Tehran's military capabilities.
The APU-L launchers are designed to fire precision-guided missiles widely used by Russian forces in Ukraine.
Russian defense industry documents from 2024 and 2025 reveal an export order for 90 launchers under a code identifying Iran, although their delivery remains unconfirmed.
The deal adds to reports of Moscow secretly helping Tehran develop supersonic cruise missiles capable of threatening U.S. Navy vessels in the Persian Gulf.
With Republicans losing the midterms, the news comes as Trump's chances of securing even GOP support for another war with Iran take a nosedive.
