Codename K-10: Russia's arms plan for Iran exposed | Report
Internal Russian documents revealed a plan to supply 90 advanced precision missile launchers to Iran under a secret contract codenamed 'K-10'. The disclosure undermines Trump's claims that Moscow is not aiding Tehran.
Internal documents from the Russian defense industry, exposed in November 2026 by the intelligence research group 'Dallas Analytics', indicate a Moscow plan to supply Iran with 90 advanced launchers for guided precision missiles mounted on attack helicopters. The contract, codenamed 'K-10', involved the production and allocation of components between late 2024 and December 2025, a period preceding the military conflict between Iran and the United States. The disclosure presents a picture different from President Donald Trump's statements, which downplayed Russian assistance to Tehran, and raises new questions about the extent of military cooperation between the two countries. Production records show the allocation of components for ninety APU-L dual-rail launchers, designed to carry precision missiles on attack helicopters such as the Mi-28. However, researchers note that the records do not conclusively prove whether all launchers physically reached Iran. Additional documents reveal that the codename 'K-10' is used by Russian security mechanisms as a code for Iran, including in a supply request from October 2022 for equipment for Yak-130 aircraft, where the recipient was recorded as 'K10' Iran.
