Israel warns Russia against buying Iranian missiles

The Israeli state media corporation Kan has quoted the chairman of the country's National Security Council, former Mossad officer Eyal Hulat, as saying that Israel may provide Ukraine with retaliatory ballistic missiles if Iran supplies Russia with its own.

The TV channel also reports that the Israeli Foreign Ministry has protested to Russia over the supply of Iranian drones. The note of protest was handed by the Israeli ambassador in Moscow to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov.

At the same time, the Oryx project said that the Ukrainian army received a batch of Turkish weapons, including TRLG-230 and Sungur IIR missiles. The Oryx project monitors arms deliveries to the Armed Forces from partners.

The TRLG-230 is a missile launcher capable of launching a laser guided munition 70 kilometres away, while the Sungur is a short-range anti-aircraft missile, which Turkey produces in several configurations, including as a man-portable anti-aircraft missile system.

And also today US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine is much better prepared for war in winter than its adversary:

We have done a lot to prepare the Ukrainians for combat in winter and to enable them to continue to put pressure on our opponents during the winter months.
