Iran Reveals Underground Missile & Drone Bases
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) unveiled two missile and drone tunnel bases built at the heart of high mountains.
IRGC Chief Commander Major General Hossein Salami said during the unveiling ceremony on March 5 that the bases will house ground-to-ground missile systems with advanced equipment, as well as attack drones that can penetrate the enemy’s radar and defense networks, government-owned PressTV reported today.
The bases are also home to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a range of 2,000km, two-missile launch platforms and multi-drone launch platforms, which were unveiled during the IRGC’s Great Prophet 17 joint military exercises in Iran’s southern shore in December 2021.
Brigadier Genearal Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force, claimed Iran can simultaneously launch 60 drones from its newly unveiled underground base with no target limitation, because the “range of the unmanned aircraft is long and not limited.”
