Iran has purchased modern anti-aircraft missiles from China
The military balance in the Middle East is facing another change. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to a report from middleeasteye.net, Iran, which suffered significant damage due to 12 days of intense clashes and Israeli airstrikes, has purchased modern anti-aircraft missile systems from China to restore its air defense. Sources indicate that the weapons were delivered to Iran on June 24, after a peace agreement was signed.

No specific information has been provided about the type and quantity of the purchased weapons, but it is said that the agreement was made in exchange for oil. This trade between China and Iran has also negatively impacted the geopolitical situation in the region.

U.S. Arab allies are aware of this event and have informed Washington. Until now, Iran has been defending its airspace with the S-300 "Favorit" anti-aircraft missile systems obtained from Russia.

However, these systems were not as effective as expected during the conflict with Israel. U.S.-supplied F-35, F-16, and F-15 fighter jets entered Iran's strategic sites and dropped guided bombs.

As a result, only one military base launched anti-aircraft missiles, while the others were caught off guard by the attack. Experts believe that Iran's purchase of new defense systems from China will mark a new era in the country's security strategy.

This will have a serious impact on the military balance not only for Iran but for the entire Middle East region. The Zamin.uz website will continue to deliver the latest news on military technology, regional politics, and security in the Middle East to its readers promptly and fairly.
