Rusia ayuda en secreto a Irán a desarrollar misiles de crucero supersónicos
Filtraciones revelan el programa detrás de una de las transferencias de tecnología militar más importantes conocidas de Moscú a Teherán Leer
Russia secretly aided Iran in developing advanced supersonic cruise missiles, as revealed by leaked military technology transfers. This classified program, known as C430L, enlisted some of Russia's most experienced missile experts to assist Iran in creating a new class of weapons capable of threatening U.S. aircraft carriers and other warships in the Middle East.
The Financial Times investigation uncovered the program, which began in 2023 and continued during the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. The primary goal of the C430L is to help Iran develop a ramjet propulsion system, enabling cruise missiles to maintain supersonic flight for several times the speed of sound. Experts believe the technology is almost certainly intended for anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles, marking a significant strategic transfer from Russia to Iran.
Iran has long sought such advanced missile technology, and the program's secrecy highlights the increasing military strategic relationship between the two nations.
