Reuters: Iran to buy Su-35 fighter jets from Russia - Iranian broadcaster 

DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran has reached a deal to buy advanced Su-35 fighter planes from Russia, Iranian state media said on Saturday, expanding a relationship that has seen Iranian-built drones used in Russia's war on Ukraine. 

"The Sukhoi-35 fighter planes are technically acceptable to Iran and Iran has finalised a contract for their purchase," the broadcaster IRIB quoted Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York as saying. 

IRIB's report did not carry any Russian confirmation of the deal, details of which were not disclosed. 

The mission said Iran had also inquired about buying military aircraft from several other unnamed countries, IRIB reported. Iran's purchase of Russian fighter jets was first reported by news website Semafor on Thursday.

China Secretly Sold Saudi Arabia DF-21 Missiles With CIA Approval

Saudi Arabia has been drifting away for a few decades. Joe Biden shows up and puts the process on steroids.

Joe has been around for 5 decades, you would think he would know the state of play and would know better. Guess the Saudis must be one of the few nations that did not grease his palm.
