Acord secret Rusia-Iran pentru motoare de rachete hipersonice

Russia is secretly assisting Iran in developing a new class of hypersonic cruise missiles under the long-term program C430L. The main goal is to create a ramjet propulsion system for faster cruise missiles. Military experts believe this technology could threaten US aircraft carriers and other vessels in the Middle East. Although Iran has tested ramjet propulsion, there is no evidence of Russian support for manufacturing supersonic cruise missiles or deploying Russian hypersonic models in Iran. The C430L contract was signed with Iran's Ministry of Defense in November 2023.
