What could Iranian ballistic missiles mean for Russia’s war effort? | DW News

Russia says it has captured more settlements in eastern Ukraine while advancing towards the military hub of Pokrovsk. Moscow says its forces have captured the villages of Memryk and Novohrodivka. Pokrovsk is strategically important as it lies on a road that supplies Ukrainian troops and towns across the eastern front. Meanwhile the EU says Iran is supplying ballistic missiles to Russia. Russian forces now control about a fifth of Ukraine, since launching their full-scale invasion in February 2022. We spoke to military analyst Marina Miron, from Kings College London, about how this could change the dynamics of the war.

"Incremental gains"..."Russia strategic gains"...blah blah blah!
If the Iranians weapons are not "sophisticated" why make a big fuss about them?

So he asks her about ballistic missiles and so she talks about s300 air defense interceptors and the equivelents that come in a rocket format and this is your 'expert' huh?

Neither of you have any idea what you are talking about do you?

[davidbrown]

Edging?. Is that what you call 220 sq of advances in the most heavily fortified region in Ukraine since 2014?. this follows 90 sq kms the month before and 64 sq km the month before that.
