ISW emphasized that this information is based on American intelligence data on open sources.
“If this information is true, it follows that Iran can receive Russian Su-35 aircraft in exchange for drones, which could be part of an agreement signed by Moscow and Tehran July 26,” ISW analysts suggested.
The institute also believes that the agreement on increasing passenger flights from Iran to Russia can be used by Tehran to purchase Russian combat aircraft.
