Russia relied heavily on air defense and production facilities are mostly on open terrain. Recently Ukraine acquired ew pods from European countries attaching them to their one way attack drones reducing effectiveness of Russian air defense.
Russia needs to go to Iran route of carving up Ural mountains to make production storage facilities for their drones-missiles. Ukranian drones are not bunker busting they only reach surface level. They also dont have air force to drop bunker penetrating bombs.
Iran can help Russia to make mountain-underground hardened bases for storage and even production of parts. However Putin likes double games as near history shows and some of his influential oligarchs are connected to isreal so confidential items like security measures about ventilations shafts or some mountain entrence protection measures should not be shared with Russia.
Russia doesnt need extra protection anyways. Only one way attack drones of Ukraine are the threat as of right now. Ukraine is working on ballistic missiles too but making them accurate and penetrating is another ball game which would take a lot of time for Ukraine. Russia can devise ventilation shafts themselves and ballistic missiles dont work on penetrating through ventilation shafts. Mountain base entrence points can be located away from ballistic missile trajectories also excavators inside mountain bases can work to reopen gates once they are closed after bombing. These are known tactics and can work well against Ukranian future ballistic missiles.
This way with drone cooperation and base building assitance with Russia, Iran would secure the transport route with Russia for raw materials and production even under heavy sanctions from Usa in addition to the Pakistan China route.
