The two missile and UAV bases of the IRGC became operational in the presence of Major General Hossein Salami.
Reports say these tunnel bases have been built in the heart of the high mountains and house ground-to-ground missile systems with advanced equipment, as well as stealth drones capable of infiltrating the enemy’s radar and defense networks.

Military experts believe that Iran’s access to UAVs with a range of 2,000 kilometers, launch platforms for dual-projectile missiles, and multi-aircraft launch platforms for precision UAVs all show these bases are effective in defending and protecting Iran against any threat.
