Recent reports suggest that Russia will soon deliver 24 advanced Sukhoi 35 fighter jets to Iran, greatly enhancing the capabilities of its air force. Currently, Iran’s air force is equipped with outdated aircraft such as the Phantom and F-14, making this delivery a significant upgrade.
This comes at a time when tensions are high between Iran and Israel, with recent reports indicating that Israel targeted a Russian S-300 air defense battery near the Natanz nuclear facility. Russia is also expected to provide Iran with S-400 air defense systems in the near future.
The growing military cooperation between Iran and Russia is of concern for Israel, as it could shift the dynamics in the region. Iran has been a key supplier of UAVs for Russia in the conflict in Ukraine, and the exchange of advanced weaponry between the two countries poses a threat to regional stability.
It is important to conduct discussions around military advancements and international relations in a respectful and ethical manner, without resorting to expressions of violence, incitement or racism. The evolving situation in the Middle East underscores the need for diplomacy and strategic decision-making to prevent escalation and maintain peace in the region.
