Iran unveils underground ballistic missile silos

Iran reveals underground ballistic missile silos

Iran unveiled underground ballistic missile silos for the first time on Monday in a warning to the world of its ability to protect its missiles and secretly store them in hidden locations throughout the country.

State TV broadcast footage of several military officers touring an underground silo that was holding a Shahab 3 ballistic missile. The missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers, putting Israel within its reach, but is powered by liquid fuel, which means that it requires more considerable preparation immediately before launch than a solid rocket.

The unveiling of underground missile silos was confirmation of Israeli and American warnings in recent years that Iran was dispersing its missiles in silos, likely scattered throughout the country.

In the footage, a missile is shown being launched from inside one of the silos, which has large metal doors that open on the surface with the press of a button.

ALL THIS MEANS IS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO HIT THEM HARDER WITH MORE AND IN A SHORTER TIME-SPAN AND WITH LESS WARNING.

GULP, (BUT IT'S DOABLE).

ALL THIS PROVES - ONCE AGAIN - IS THAT APPEASEMENT ONLY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE AND ONLY MAKES IT WORSE THAN IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN IF WE HAD BEGUN EARLIER AND ON OUR TIMETABLE.

SIGH.
