The Financial Times reports that Russia has been secretly helping Iran develop supersonic cruise missile technology since 2023, in what could become one of Moscow’s most significant military technology transfers to Tehran.
The program, known as C430L, involves Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport and NPO Mashinostroyenia, with Russian missile engineers traveling repeatedly to Iran and analyzing Iranian ramjet flight-test data. The technology could eventually enable Iran to field faster, low altitude anti ship and land attack cruise missiles that would be significantly harder for U.S. and allied defenses to intercept.
Iran has already built and flight tested the ramjet propulsion system, but the FT found no evidence that a Russian assisted supersonic cruise missile has been deployed. The leaked correspondence indicates the program remained active into June 2026, including discussions about a next phase, although it is unclear whether that phase has begun.
The development is particularly significant for U.S. naval forces in the Middle East: Iran has demonstrated an ability to threaten American bases with drones and ballistic missiles, but has so far been less successful against U.S. naval assets. A mature ramjet powered anti ship missile could give Tehran a substantially more capable weapon for targeting ships in the Gulf and surrounding waters.

Had Iran just kept focusing on isreal, i think they could have come out of this. Now their trapped in a situation where the americans will just incrementally whittle them down. Isrealis who instigated this war are sitting pretty. I also think they know something we don't, because they don't even mention iran anymore its just Turkiye.

History shows wars are often decided by logistics. Iran has attacked that vulnerability: the US Navy lost access to its regional logistics hubs and now sends supply ships 2,200 miles to Diego Garcia, while warships resupply at sea every 5-6 days. As the NYT notes, “this is not sustainable.” The strain, if anything, is mounting.
What exactly do you mean by that?

I think the isrealis believe that now Iran is in a fight with the USA, that the USA will continue this boiling frog approach until Iran is completely ruined. They've already been neutralised as a direct threat to isreal. Its for good reason the iranians don't target isreal and i think from the isreali perspective they think iran is pretty much finished. Hence why they barely say much about iran anymore but always have something to say about Turkiye.
And by finished i mean, they have been put into a process which only ends with a completely exhausted and ruined iran. It could take 1 year it could take 20, but that process has started and won't end until the american/zionist ambition has been achieved.
The jews will hope in the future to play the same game where they start the war with the Turks but get the yanks to do all the fighting.
Iran should have focussed everything on isreal and not stopped.

U.S. Lost 25% of All MQ-9A Reapers Since iran War Started, Now Seeks 5x Cheaper Replacement With 14,800km Range After Production Line Shut Down Last Year | Defense Express
45 of 180 drones destroyed as MMA program demands sub-$10M flying ammo truck vs $40-50M Reaper, with first 20 units targeted by fiscal year 2031

This was genuinely serious blow for U.S., since they took MQ-9A Reaper out of production just last year. Newer MQ-9B Reapers not only cost even more but are also produced in small quantities, insufficient for quickly restoring lost drone fleet. Breaking Defense writes about this.

EDITORIAL: With the world’s focus regarding the US-Iran war largely on the conflict’s geopolitical dimensions and its impact on the global economy, the human toll is often overlooked.
On Sept 1, as hostilities once again flared between Washington and Tehran, a wedding party in the Iranian town of Kuhestak, Hormozgan, was struck by a projectile. A night of joy turned into one of terror and tragedy as at least five people, including children, were killed. Several were injured. It is widely believed the US is responsible for this abominable attack; the American vice-president says his country is investigating the incident. The tragedy mirrors the atrocity that occurred at the Minab school at the beginning of the conflict, in which over 150 people — mostly schoolchildren — were massacred, again in an American attack.
