(Worthy Insights) – Documents leaked last Friday allegedly reveal a massive deal for advanced fighter jets between Russia and Iran, with the sale of 48 Sukhoi-35 aircraft to Tehran at its core. The planned sale of the aircraft has been known for some time, though various and often conflicting reports about the delivery schedule have surfaced periodically. As of now, the jets have not yet been delivered.
The Russian opposition website The Insider was the first to report on the leak on Thursday, after “Black Mirror” released the first batch of documents. The following day, screenshots of an internal pricing table detailing aircraft sales appeared online.
According to the hackers’ publication, the leak includes more than 300 documents from the Russian state defense conglomerate Rostec, outlining pricing structures and arms deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as mechanisms for bypassing Western sanctions. [ Source (Read More…) ]
