Iran never handed over a single missile to the Russian Federation.

That’s according to the chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, Kyrylo Budanov, who spoke in an interview with LIGA.net, Ukrinform reports.

In addition to Shahed-136 and Shahed-131 one-way attack drones, Iran supplied to Russia Mohajer-6, large UAVs, similar to Turkish-made Bayraktar, available to Ukraine, in terms of tactical and technical features.

The Russian Federation is trying "to buy ammunition from them (Iran - ed.) and wants the Iranians to sell them ballistic missiles. However, Iran has never handed over a single missile," said Budanov.

Regarding China, the intelligence chief noted that "China has not transferred any weapons either. And they won’t, as far as we understand."

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Budanov said Russia has enough missiles for two or three more massive strikes.
