A Russian military plane flew over $140 million in cash and a number of captured British and U.S. weapons to Iran in return for kamikaze drones used in the Ukraine war, a report said Tuesday.
According to a security source who spoke with Sky News on condition of anonymity, the aircraft secretly transported the money and three models of munition to Tehran on August 20. The equipment was initially sent to the Ukrainian army but “fell into Russian hands.”
The source claimed that the munition included one British NLAW anti-tank missile, one U.S. Javelin anti-tank missile, and one Stinger anti-aircraft missile. He warned that the weapons could be used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards to copy Western military technologies.
"They will probably be reverse-engineered and used in future wars," the source said, providing satellite images allegedly showing two Russian military planes at an airport in Tehran, one of which was carrying the cash and the stolen weapons.
