Iran’s underground missile bases immune to attack
According to a CNN investigation earlier this week, the Revolutionary Guards have dug nearly 30 underground missile cities carved deep into granite mountains over the past few decades, rich in concrete missile depots, dozens of exit tunnels connected by automatic trains and with pop-up doors that effectively protects them from air attacks, and even from ground invasion.
The investigation identified at least 27 such underground bases, including at least 107 tunnels with exits. According to the Alma Research Institute, which deals with geopolitics and Israel's security challenges, 77% of the openings were hit by Israeli and US aircraft in the first three weeks of the operation.
However, the investigation made a disturbing finding: within a day or two, engineering vehicles were identified near these entrances, engaged in their rapid restoration. One of the more better known missile bases near Yazd in central Iran was bombed twice during the opening week of the war and again last week, with the internal damage to the structure unclear. What are these missile cities and what can be done about them?

In each of the missile cities, many dummy openings were built that do not actually lead into the tunnels, and other openings were built in camouflage, so that they appear to be a natural part of the mountain's contours. Finally, the facilities usually include heavy engineering teams within the complexes, who assist in the restoration of the openings in the days following an IDF attack.

Благодарение на тези бази, режимът поддържа стабилно темпо от 10-15 пуска дневно и изглежда може да го поддържа много дълго време.
