In contrast, recent reports indicate that China has provided Iran with new technology in an effort to prevent infiltration by US and Israeli intelligence, and to help Tehran defend itself from advanced US and Israeli warplanes.
This includes supplying Iran with advanced Chinese sensor systems and radars, such as the YLC-8B, capable of tracking stealth aircraft and conducting electronic surveillance.
US-based analysts speaking with theWashington Post sought to attribute Iran’s success in targeting US assets to Russian assistance.
Iran is “making very precise hits on early warning radars or over-the-horizon radars,” said Dara Massicot, an expert on the Russian military at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “They’re doing this in a very targeted way. They’re going after command and control,” she added.
Nicole Grajewski of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government said there was a high level of “sophistication” in the Iranian retaliatory strikes.
