Launchers

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior advisor to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)
Quds Force commander announced on Thursday that Iran is in possession of 14
missile depots in the depth of 30m to 500m under the ground that are
equipped with automatic launchers.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has 14 underground depots in the depth of 30m
to 500m," Brigadier-General Karimpour said on Wednesday.

He warned that any country that dares to attack Iran will be riddled with
missiles fired from these depots in large numbers automatically.

His remarks came after Iran's recent unveiling of a deep underground tunnel
facility packed with missiles and launcher units a few days after the
country tested a new long-range missile.

After unveiling the underground depot for the first time, Lieutenant
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General
Hossein Salami said, "That was one of our oldest stockpiles and we haven’t
yet shown our modern missile depots, where missiles with big cross sections
have been stockpiled."

On October 11, Iran successfully test-fired the country's new
precision-guided long-range ballistic missile that can be controlled until
the moment of impact. Emad carries a conventional warhead.

"This missile (Emad) which has been fully designed and made by Iranian
Defense Ministry's scientists and experts is the country' first long-range
missile with navigation and strike controlling capability; it is capable of
hitting and destroying the targets with high-precision," Iranian Defense
Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan told reporters after the
successful test of Emad missile.

The Iranian Defense Minister reiterated that the manufacture and successful
testing of Emad missile is a technological and operational jump in a
strategic field, and said, "We don’t ask for anyone's permission for
boosting our defense and missile power; we resolutely continue our defense
programs, specially in the missile field, and Emad missile is a conspicuous
example."

General Dehqan felicitated Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Iranian Armed Forces and the Iranian nation on
the successful testing, and appreciated the scientists and experts of the
Aerospace Industries Organization of the Defense Ministry.

The Iranian Defense Minister reiterated that the mass production and
delivery of Emad missile to the country's Armed Forces will considerably
increase their power and tactical capabilities.

The Iranian Armed Forces have recently test-fired different types of
newly-developed missiles and torpedoes and tested a large number of
home-made weapons, tools and equipment, including submarines, military
ships, artillery, choppers, aircrafts, UAVs and air defense and electronic
systems, during massive military drills.

Defense analysts and military observers say that Iran's wargames and its
advancements in weapons production have proved as a deterrent factor.

The Iranian officials have always underscored that the country's defense
program cannot be affected by the nuclear deal clinched between Iran and the
world powers on July 14 and the UN Security Council resolutions.
