Bulldozers won: Iran restored access to underground missile sites

Iran has restored access to its underground missile facilities. This is reported by CNN.

It took Iran less than two months to do this.

During the war, the Americans and Israelis filled up the entrances to the tunnels and destroyed the access roads to them, but of the 69 entrances damaged at 18 underground missile sites, 50 have already been cleared, the TV channel reports with reference to satellite images.

"For several weeks, US and Israeli strikes have restricted Iran's access to underground missile sites, destroying roads and burying tunnel entrances. However, satellite images analyzed by CNN show how Iran used simple equipment such as bulldozers and dump trucks to counter these expensive campaigns, which suggests that Tehran's missile capabilities cannot be destroyed only by filling up the entrances to the tunnels, experts said, "the publication says.

Iran has also repaired other parts of the bases, including roads that the US and Israel bombed to prevent the use of rocket launchers. Satellite images show that almost all of these craters have already been filled in, and in two places they have even been re-paved.

Experts believe that there are still about a thousand ballistic missiles in underground storage facilities.

"You have to use very complex and expensive weapons to cause such damage, and all you need to restore is bulldozers," explained Timur Kadyshev, a researcher at the University of Hamburg.

According to American intelligence, Iran has already resumed drone production and is restoring missile production faster than expected.
