Financial Times: Russia Supports Iran's Hypersonic Missile Development
The Financial Times revealed that Russia is secretly assisting Iran in developing hypersonic cruise missiles capable of threatening U.S. warships in the Middle East. The program, named "C340L," began in 2023 and aims to equip Iran with a "supercritical jet propulsion" engine that allows the missile to fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, reaching up to 2,200 miles per hour. Its low-altitude flight and radar evasion make it difficult to intercept. Although the system has been tested, there is no evidence of its operational deployment. This technology is highly sensitive and requires political approval from Russia, which is collaborating with Iran in a broader military partnership that includes sharing intelligence and supplying drones.
