## Key points

- Russian records tie a contract for 90 missile launchers to Iran.
- The launchers were designed for Russia’s LMUR precision-guided missile.
- The documents do not confirm the launchers were delivered.

## Summary

Russian defence industry records suggest Moscow contracted to produce parts for 90 missile launchers destined for Iran before the war with the United States. The documents add detail to Russia’s military support for Tehran, which the Trump administration has publicly played down.

The launchers are designed for Russia’s LMUR precision-guided missile, also known as Product 305 or the Kh-39. Production-chain shipments were scheduled from late 2024 to December 2025, and Russian Ministry of Defence officials signed related paperwork; however, the documents do not prove the launchers reached Iran. Other records link the code “K-10” to Iran, including records for Yak-130 aircraft later shown in Iranian service.
