The report states that Russian defence enterprises placed orders for missile-related components and assemblies between 2023 and 2025, with some deliveries scheduled through 2027.
In March 2023, Iran’s mission to the United Nations announced that a contract had been finalized for the purchase of Su-35 fighter jets from Russia, confirming earlier reports that Iranian pilots had begun training on the aircraft.
Leaked documents published in November 2025 reportedly indicated that Iran had purchased 16 newly built Su-35 fighters, with deliveries expected around 2027, a timeline that reportedly coincides with the delivery schedule for the aviation weapons mentioned in the report.
