Russia will soon supply Iran with advanced Su-35 fighter jets. According to Western intelligence, the 24 fighter jets were originally intended for Egypt. The Americans talked Cairo out of the deal, and the Russians sought buyers for the planes. After Iran became a supplier of drones to the Russian army, the issue was resolved. Intelligence sources say that the training of Iranian pilots on new machines continues in full swing. Israel believes that the warning will not deter Russia and that increased military cooperation with Iran will push Jerusalem to supply arms to Ukraine, something Israel has refrained from doing, despite pressure from the US and within the country.
