i24 News<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/em>Iran appears assured of soon receiving a shipment of one of Russia\u2019s most advanced fighter jets, which would mark the most significant upgrade in decades to the Islamic Republic\u2019s aging fleet, the\u00a0New York Times<\/i>\u00a0reported on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past few months, Iranian officials publicly touted the purchase of 24 Su-35s, a state-of-the-art military jet produced by Russia, including in propaganda materials showcasing a new underground Air Force base called \u201cEagle 44.\u201d The\u00a0NYT\u00a0<\/i>report was based on digital analysis of one such propaganda video by a former US government imagery analyst, as well as on analysis of satellite imagery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report concluded that the base had a mockup of the Su-35 jet, apparently to make sure that the base is ready for the reception of the real artifact. \u201cThese are likely being used in assessing clearances for maneuvering the aircraft throughout the underground facility and could suggest they\u2019ll be based here,\u201d according to the analyst cited by\u00a0NYT<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regime media said the Eagle 44 base was one of the country\u2019s most important military facilities, and would soon be home to fighter jets equipped with long-range cruise missiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes amid heightened western and Israeli concerns over the deepening two-way military cooperation between Iran and Russia<\/a>, and its implications for the security and stability of eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Another area of concern is Iran\u2019s nuclear escalation and Tehran\u2019s lack of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cooperation included Iranian manufacturers supplying Russia with drones used to attack Ukraine\u2019s infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s beginning to emerge is at least the beginnings of a\u00a0full-fledged defense partnership between Russia and Iran<\/a>, with the Iranians supplying drones to the Russians, which are killing Ukrainian civilians as we speak today, and the Russians beginning to look at ways in which, technologically or technically, they can support the Iranians,\u201d CIA Director William Burns said in September.<\/span><\/p>\n
