Fox News
Russia flew over $140 million of stolen Western cash and munitions that were bound to assist the Ukrainian military to Iran as payment for suicide drones used in Ukraine.
Ben Taleblu's comments come after a Sky News report Tuesday revealed Russia flew over $140 million of stolen Western anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. The weapons include a British NLAW anti-tank missile, a U.S. Javelin anti-tank missile and a Stinger anti-aircraft missile that were part of a shipment to Ukraine, but "fell into Russian hands," the outlet said, citing a security source.

The source said the shipment of Western weapons could allow Iran to reverse-engineer them and be used in future wars," something Ben Taleblu warned would "improve Iran’s already evolving domestic arms production capabilities."
