Russia no longer needs the constant support of Iran to wage war in Ukraine, as the country's defense industry has switched to Chinese components and technologies, writes the Financial Times.
According to the publication, after the conflict between Israel and Iran, the latter's military industry has suffered significant damage. Against this background, it may seem that Russia may feel the negative consequences of strikes on Tehran's infrastructure and on its own military campaign in Ukraine.
It has been confirmed that the Israeli and American strikes have caused damage to the Iranian production of drones and missiles. Iranian weapons, especially unmanned aerial vehicles, have been valuable to Russia's military efforts. Now that it has suffered such serious damage, Tehran will have to recover and may not be able to help the Kremlin in Ukraine for quite some time.
However, experts point out that in fact Russia has not used Iranian technology and weapons for a long time, but has been producing everything itself with the support of China.
