Iran to supply to Russia helmets, bulletproof vests and more drones

Russians who have been mobilized will be wearing helmets and bulletproof vests made in Iran. The Russian authorities started using Iranian-manufactured equipment because they were unable to supply the newly mobilized with the needed ammunition made in-house.

“The Russian Federation starts using equipment built in Iran because it is unable to supply the new wave of soldiers with the requisite ammunition for its manufacturing. It is intended to transfer 3000 armor protection units shortly, including 1500 “Milad” bulletproof vests and 1500 helmets”, the Ukrainian intelligence reported.
