Fateh-110s will rain on Ukraine soon! Reportedly, Iran has possibly sent 400 ballistic SRBM missiles to Russia. These missiles are Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missiles, having range of 300 kilometres or more.

If these reports are true, this shipment could bring a serious threat to Ukraine. The Fateh-110 missiles are recognised for high precision and may wreak havoc in Ukraine.

This evolving information vindicates previous statements by White House national security spokesperson John Kirby in January, stating that the US had intelligence on advanced discussions between Iran and Russia with respect to a missile deal, in addition to similar missile supplies from North Korea. Currently, delays in US aid to Ukraine have turned the situation on the battlefield fragile, with news of Russian forces capturing more lands in Avdiivka.

The recently signed security deals with Germany & France may not be adequate for Ukraine in guarding the excruciating Russian onslaught that is refreshed & reinforced with time.

For context, UN restriction of Iran for export of missiles has ended in October 2023, and has become a rationale for Iranian Government to brazenly go ahead with the dispatch of missiles to Moscow.

The intensifying defense and political cooperation between Russia, Iran, and North Korea emerge as not just a threat to Ukraine but to all NATO nations in the long term. Additionally, the rapport with China has only bolstered Russia in its war against Ukraine and in cracking down the internal protests in Russia.

With limited military equipment and a few numbers of Patriot air defense missiles, Ukraine faces the challenge of protecting its command centres, ammunition depots, and the capital city of Kiev. With the reported quantity and precision of Fateh 110 Missiles, unlikely of those of North Korean missiles, Ukraine must think out of the box to shield itself against the upcoming blow. It’s vital for Ukraine to prepare for worst-case scenario.
