Defense Express military expert Valerii Riabykh says that Iranian-made ballistic missiles are sufficiently technological, and Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate reports on their accuracy and long-range

He said this on Espreso TV. 

“Experts note that Iranian ballistic missiles that can be transferred to Russia are sufficiently technological, despite the fact that Iran has been cut off from modern technologies for a long time. According to the statements of representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate, these missiles are more accurate and long-range than some types of missiles of the Russian Federation. Of course, the arrival of such missiles can significantly strengthen Russia's ability to strike on the territory of Ukraine. Accordingly, this is a great threat to us,” the military expert noted.

Valerii Riabykh explained that the range of different types of Iranian missiles is from 300 km to 700 km, and one of them is designed to hit a target up to 700 km away.

“If such missiles are launched from territories close to Ukraine, not excluding Belarus itself, then the entire territory of our country can be hit. And here we must talk about the responsibility of this terrorist country for blatant terrorist attacks on critical objects of the civilian infrasructure,” Riabykh noted. 

 
  • On October 29, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that Iranian missiles, unlike Russian ones, have quite high accuracy and speed.

  • In addition, Matthew Bryza, a diplomat and former adviser to the US Secretary of State, noted that Putin is exposing his desperation to the world by turning to Iran for drones and possibly ballistic missiles.
