Iran’s Missile Firepower Increases Sevenfold: General

The capabilities of the IRGC Aerospace Force have been increased exponentially, commander of the force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said after unveiling two cavernous military bases accommodating missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles on Saturday.

The IRGC’s missile firepower and its ability to launch projectiles simultaneously have increased sevenfold, he noted, adding that the duration of preparing missiles for launch as well as the intervals between the launches have been reduced remarkably.

Commenting on the features of the new underground bases, the commander said 60 drones can fly from the base at the same time.

“Since the range of these unmanned aircraft is long and not limited, we have no limitation on the targets and can hit any hostile target,” the general explained.

The subterranean bases unveiled today accommodate ground-to-ground missile systems with new advanced equipment as well as assault drones capable of penetrating into the enemy’s radar and air defense networks.
