The Telegraph: Putin will be terrified by how easily Iran’s Russian air defences went down
The recent US military operation against Iran's nuclear sites has showcased the effectiveness of US and Israeli air power, revealing vulnerabilities in Russian air defense systems. Israeli jets have operated freely in Iranian airspace, and the US strike included advanced weaponry that bypassed Iranian defenses, likely causing concern in Moscow.
In contrast, the situation in Ukraine remains precarious, with both sides struggling to gain air superiority. Russian forces face significant challenges, and the effectiveness of US and Israeli intelligence operations against Iran suggests that similar capabilities could threaten Russian leadership. This shift in military dynamics may pressure Putin to negotiate.
