IHS Jane's 360: Iran's underground missile base
* Iran has provided a rare glimpse inside one of its underground missile bases
* The base could be temporarily neutralised if its entrances were bombed
Iranian state television broadcast new footage from inside an underground base on 14 October that raised questions about the scale of the facility and the concept of operations adopted by ballistic missile forces.
The footage was clearly intended to give the impression of a vast underground complex that contains a multitude of transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) that are ready to fire ballistic missiles. The Iranian report described the base as "a city which is beyond the enemy's imagination". Most of the missiles carried by the TELs appeared to be liquid-fuel Shahab-3-series weapons designed to target Israel.

just like the cardboard stealth fighter and fake drone
WNU Editor,
It's a case of "yes and no".
Underground city of missiles, nope,
Hundreds of miles of short open ended tunnels with blast anvils at each end, each sheltering a few ballistic, antiaircraft and anti ship missiles on mobile launchers, yes.
Agreed,
Portals and tunnels. Drill, blast and muck. Simple and effective.
