^^Many of these Fateh-110 solid fuel missiles were produced 20-25 years ago and are at the end of their lifespan.

Now, these old missiles have a chance of being used in mass in Ukraine instead of being phased out of service.

Also, because many of these missiles are old, expect many of them failing in flight.

By selling these missiles, Iran will earn a lot of money and this will allow it to substitute old Fateh missiles with new Raad-500 missiles in its arsenal.

So war in Ukraine provides an opportunity for Iran to get rid of its stockpile of old missiles while earning a lot of money in the process.

Also, if Iran is ready to sell 400 ballistic missiles to a foreign country, how many missiles does Iran really have in its arsenal? Probably General McKenzie's estimation of 3000 ballistic missiles in Iran's arsenal is wrong.

This is all speculation on your part. You have no way of knowing the age of the missiles being sold to Russia.

fateh 110 is useless for russia and 20 year will be fateh-110a , I believe they all are converted to newer models and we only have 3rd and 4th generation in stock which date back to 2010 and 2012 but if what the report say is true they are talking about 700km zolfaqar which we start mass producing in 2017 or 7 years ago
by the way or fateh-110 todays have 250-300km of range

This still doesn't mean Iran is afraid of hitting Israel because of 3 missiles that were first tested and failed

We saw that Kheybar are produced, Haj are produced also and used on real situation

Wait a little and you will see Fattah first use in a real situation, Kheybar was first used not even 2 years after its unveiling, meaning they are being produced in numbers

Regarding the price of Fateh-110 ballistic missiles for Russia...

Back in 1990s China sold similar M-11 ballistic missiles to Pakistan at a price of 1mln$ per missile.

1mln$ in 1990s is equivalent to 2mln$ in 2024 if we take into account devaluation of US dollar over the last 25 years.

So 400 Fateh-110 missiles for Russia can cost between 800mln$-1bln$.

With 1bln$ Iran can buy 10-12 Su-35s with spare parts, weapons and support infrastructure.

With 1,5bln$ earned from selling drones and 1bln$ earned from selling missiles Iran can buy 25-30 Su-35s.

That has a lot of assumptions.

You assume Iran is giving latest generation.

It’s quite possible Russia bought old Fateh-110 and Zolfghar gen 1’s from 15+ years ago.

This would benefit Iran since Econ 101 tells you storage of items has a cost. So getting rid of older missiles would allow space for newer inventory while at the same time bringing in cash flow.

So Iran could have agreed to get rid of stockpiles from 2005-2012 to make room for more recent generations.

If so it would give these missiles at more favorable rate than the latest production runs from last 5 years.

Speaking of latest generation, there is no way Iran will give its best. The reason is simple: it’s obvious the Red Sea operations (amongst many others) is a study lab for Iran and the west. Both are clearly holding back on their latest and neither will show their real hand for obvious reasons. In fact, it’s possible’the west’ had shown more than they would’ve liked to which Iran is absorbing and adjusting as we speak.
