China's shoulder missiles for Iran, Pakistan deny links
Iran is seeking to bolster its air defenses after having used up a significant portion of its systems in American and Israeli strikes. It is expected that within a few weeks, Iran will receive its first batch of 300 to 400 shoulder-mounted air defense systems from China, as part of a deal valued between $60 and $70 million. The systems include QW-12 missiles and Chinese-made F-IM-16 missiles, aimed at filling gaps in protecting military sites and critical infrastructure amid ongoing American and Israeli strikes and regional tensions. Although Chinese authorities deny the existence of such a deal, sources indicate that Iran is moving the systems across land and air routes from China to significantly strengthen its short-range defensive capabilities. This development suggests a deepening of military relations between Iran and Beijing.
