🇷🇺🇺🇦Tank units of the Russian Armed Forces have arrived in the border area of ​​the Kursk region to destroy mobile armored groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry announced, Interfax reports.

🇷🇺🇮🇷Reuters reports that "dozens of Russian servicemen" are undergoing training in Iran on the use of the Fath-360 operational-tactical missile system.

"Two European intelligence sources" told Reuters, adding that they expected "hundreds" of the satellite-guided missiles to be delivered to Russia soon. Russian Defense Ministry officials are believed to have signed a contract with Iranian officials in Tehran on December 13, 2023, for the delivery of the Fath-360 and another ballistic missile system, the Ababil, made by Iran's government Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO), two intelligence officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Citing multiple confidential intelligence sources, intelligence officials said Russian specialists had visited Iran for training on the Fath-360, which uses missiles with a maximum range of 120 km and a 150 kg warhead. One of the sources said the "only next step" after training would be the actual delivery of the missiles to Russia. Both sources did not give a timeline for when the Fath-360 missiles were expected to be delivered to Russia, but said it would happen "soon." They did not provide any intelligence information on the status of the Ababil contract.

A third source from another European intelligence agency said he had also received information that Russia had sent troops to Iran to train on Iranian ballistic missile systems, without providing further details. Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported in July 2023 that the Fath-360 had been successfully tested by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground forces.
