Ukraine and its allies in the West have long feared that Iran has been supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.

So far it has supplied Vladimir Putin's forces with large quantities of attack drones - as well as artillery shells and ammunition.

hold my beer.

Both countries sent these missiles.

Hard to shoot down when they travel at hypersonic speed and fall from near-space.

Devastating.
