Russia has captured NATO-provided weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine and sent them to Iran on multiple occasions in the last year, according to four unnamed sources. The weapons have included Stinger man-portable air defense systems and Javelin anti-tank missiles. Experts believe Iran will dismantle, analyze, and attempt produce local copies of the weapons.
