Russia has agreed to send advanced fighter jets and attack helicopters to Iran in a deal that would provide a significant boost to the country's air force, Iranian media reports.

The reported agreement comes as the US expresses greater concern over what it describes as increasing defense cooperation between Moscow and Tehran. A top White House official said last week that the "expanding military partnership" is "not good" for Ukraine or the Middle East region.

Plans have been finalized for Russia to deliver an unspecified number of Su-35 fighter jets, Mil Mi-28 attack helicopters, and Yakovlev Yak-130 jet trainers, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported on Tuesday, citing Iran's deputy defense minister. The report was then later confirmed on Wednesday by the official state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

From the western news source I peruse I'm led to believe that Russia doesn't have a spare fighter jet or helicopter, is low on munitions and all other war supplies, and is otherwise losing the war against Ukraine.
