Russia arranged production of 90 precision-guided missile launchers destined for Iran before the war with the United States, according to internal Russian defense industry documents disclosed Friday.
The records, obtained by Ukrainian defense intelligence research group Dallas Analytics and reported by Fox News, show components allocated for 90 APU-L launchers under a contract code-named K-10, with deliveries within Russia's production network scheduled from late 2024 through December 2025.
Other Russian documents identify K-10 as Iran, including records of Yak-130 aircraft supplied to Tehran. The launchers are designed to carry Russia's LMUR precision-guided missile, which can be mounted on Mi-28 attack helicopters, a type Iran has acquired from Moscow.
The documents also show involvement by Russia's Defense Ministry, although they do not establish whether the completed launchers reached Iran. Dallas Analytics described the contract as strong evidence of a transfer.
The findings add to reports of Russian military assistance to Tehran, including satellite intelligence and weapons components, despite President Donald Trump's repeated dismissal of Moscow's role in the conflict. US officials have said Russian support has not significantly affected American military operations.
