The IRGC said its commander, Major General Hossein Salami, had attended the unveiling of what he described as an “simultaneous or consecutive launch capability” for ballistic missiles in an underground base at an undisclosed location. “Such launches will bring us a lot of added value, both operationally and tactically,” Maj Gen Salami added.

A video was released showing ballistic missiles being brought into an underground chamber on small vehicles, with a gantry crane then loading them on to a static erector similar to the ones carried by mobile launchers. The erector then loaded the missiles upright on to a rail vehicle that was moved along after each missile was put in place.
