Power shift in the sky
19/10/2025
Media claim that Russia is increasing aircraft deliveries to Iran. An Antonov An-124 Ruslan was spotted on radar, flying from Irkutsk into Iranian airspace. Analysts believe this may involve a new batch of fighter jets — a move that could reshape the Middle East.
✈️ The delivery chain
Satellite images reveal movement on the airfield: containers, equipment, reinforced security. One An-124 can carry up to six Yak-130 or two Su-30. This isn't a one-time flight — it's a systematic operation.
🛩 Hamadan — a strategic hub
Sources say unloading occurs at Hamadan Airbase. The site is being upgraded for Su-35 operations. Iran is set to receive 48 jets worth about $6 billion between 2026 and 2028.
😬 Western unease
Israel and Western analysts are alarmed. Russian jets in Iranian skies are not just planes — they're power symbols. Russia expands, the West watches.

Two days, two Yandex data centers and one uncomfortable question: who is responsible for a country's digital infrastructure when the war reaches its server racks?
Some deadlines never make it onto television. They surface instead in internal planning documents — the kind meant to stay inside a building, not on a front page. One such document reportedly names a window of 90 to 120 days for American units to reach readiness in connection with a possible escalation involving Cuba. Not a date for troops to...
Some speeches leave more questions behind them than answers. Nikol Pashinyan's address at the UN General Assembly in New York is exactly that kind of speech. Armenia's prime minister spoke of an attempted "external takeover" of his country. He named no one. And yet the room, it seems, didn't need a name to understand who he meant.
