If Iran sells cruise missiles to Russia, Israel in return can provide Ukraine with LORA operational-tactical missile complexes, which are superior in terms of ATACAMS characteristics and capable of turning a turning point in the war.

Military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Petro Chernyk

told about this

on the Youtube channel of TSN.

As the expert explained, Iran, by arming Russia, pursues its strategic goal - to obtain nuclear technologies to complete the production of its nuclear bomb.

That is why, according to him, "Israel has now reflected so firmly and seriously."

Chernyk said that

LORA has a firing range of up to 400 km - 100 km further than ATACAMS, a warhead of 570 kg - 2.5 times more than ATACAMS

, "plus it is unique in that it can be launched from an ordinary truck."

According to him,

if it comes to the transfer of LORA to Ukraine, then "we will receive the weapons of the turning point of the battlefield"

.

"Whether it will come to that - we'll see. The Iranians are not stupid, they are well aware of the signal they sent. And the Russians are well aware that if we get such weapons, our operational capabilities to destroy the infrastructure in Crimea will multiply," the expert explained.

According to Chernyk, with new weapons, Ukraine will be able to strike deep into the occupied Crimea.

"Crimea still remains a fairly powerful military base. Despite the fact that the Crimean bridge has collapsed and there is only one full-fledged railway reverse thread, there are an incredible number of ammunition depots, primarily artillery, on the peninsula.

Such weapons pose a threat to a significant part of the Crimean territory

. first of all - airfields. The Russians still use aviation for short-range launches over our territory," he said.

It will be recalled that the military intelligence of Ukraine received information about the preparation of a draft agreement on the supply of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia.

Israel's National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata said that his country could transfer high-tech missiles to Ukraine if Iran supplies Russia with ballistic missiles.

Israeli diplomats also protested the use of Iranian drones by Russian troops in Ukraine.

The leader of the Israeli party "Likud", the winner of the parliamentary elections, Benjamin Netanyahu, previously did not rule out that he would help arm Ukraine if he is re-elected as prime minister.

Referring to Russia's use of Iranian-made suicide drones against Ukraine, Netanyahu warned that they could also pose a threat to Israel and Western countries.

LORA is an Israeli operational-tactical missile system with a single-stage solid-fuel ballistic missile.

LORA can be used in both ground and sea based options to attack infrastructure elements - communication nodes, power plants, as well as air defense batteries in the enemy's deep rear.

In 2020, LORA missiles were used by Azerbaijan during the war with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
