Iran unveils underground bases for attack drones, missiles

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled two underground military bases housing high-powered missiles and unmanned aerial systems on Saturday.

Built deep in the mountains, the bases can be used to launch 60 drones simultaneously with “no target limitation” because the systems can reportedly hit targets at a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles).

IRGC commander-in-chief Major General Hossein Salami explained that it is important to develop and store powerful missiles, drones, and other cutting-edge military aircraft to address potential threats.

While he believes that Iran’s power lies in its determination, he expressed his gratitude that the country has “enough” weapons and indigenous knowledge.
