Iran to receive Su-35 fighter jets from Russia in three months, as the two countries deepen military ties amid international sanctions
Iran and Russia have responded to heavy sanctions by the West by boosting cooperation in key areas to help prop up their economies.
According to Heidari, Tehran has also ordered a number of other military equipment from Russia, including air defence systems, missile systems and helicopters, most of which will also arrive soon. Last September, Iranian media reported that Air Force chief Hamid Vahedi said "the purchase of the Sukhoi 35 from Russia is being considered" by the Iranian air force.Iran and Russia have signed important agreements in recent months to strengthen their economic, trade, energy, and military cooperation.
Iran has not acquired any new combat aircraft in recent years, except some Russian MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters it purchased in the 1990s. Iran's defence ministry then confirmed in May 2016 that the Islamic republic was "in possession of the strategic S-300 system." Iran denies supplying drones to Russia, and last month at a contentious UNSC meeting, Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia called the allegations “patently concocted and false.”
