Russia has not confirmed the deal, but Iran has claimed to have finalized the purchase.
Iran has reached a deal to buy advanced Su-35 fighter planes from Russia, Iranian state media said on Saturday, expanding a relationship that has seen Iranian-built drones used in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
„The Sukhoi-35 fighter planes are technically acceptable to Iran and Iran has finalized a contract for their purchase,“ the broadcaster IRIB quoted Iran’s mission to the United Nations as saying in New York.
