Iran will buy Russian antiaircraft missiles, according to Moscow and Tehran news services. The deal is part of a $1 billion arms purchase that will cover improvements to Russian-made fighter jets operated by the Iranian Air Force, reports the New York Times. So much for Russian neutrality as it supposedly tries to help defuse the nuclear Iran issue.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
