The APU-L launchers are designed for Russia’s Mi-28 attack helicopters, which Iran has already acquired, and can fire guided missiles capable of striking moving targets approximately 14 kilometers away. The documents identify Iran as the buyer but do not establish whether the launchers were ultimately delivered.
