Russia and China have been providing Iran with intelligence, including the precise locations of US warships and aircraft operating across the Middle East, according to three senior American officials. This collaboration reveals a new kind of war without front lines, instead focusing on radar beams, satellite feeds and encrypted coordinates. Russia's intelligence pipeline has allowed Iran to locate US and Israeli assets with precision Tehran could not achieve alone. Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly denied this, but it's clear that this denial changes little. China has also contributed to Iran's electronic warfare landscape, exporting advanced radar systems and transferring Iranian military navigation from US GPS to China's encrypted BeiDou-3 constellation. The YLC-8B anti-stealth radar was designed to reduce the effectiveness of radar-absorbent coatings on US stealth aircraft.
