Iran's Chief of General Staff, Major General Ali Abdullahi, visited an underground ballistic missile production facility, inspecting production lines and announcing an increase in capacity.
Why it Matters
- Iran has released images showing its continued production of ballistic missiles in underground facilities despite air strikes.
- The country is focusing on solid-fuel missiles, with an increase in production quantity and quality.
- The production of kamikaze drones has tripled since the start of the war, but there is a shortage of trained missile personnel.
Iran's state television broadcast images of General Abdullahi's visit to the underground facility, where he stated that the facility can now produce more advanced systems in terms of capacity, quality, and production quantity.
Although there is no official figure, military sources claim that the inventory includes thousands of ballistic missiles, with stockpiles sufficient for long-term operational needs.
Why it Matters for Turkey
These developments demonstrate the ongoing impact of Iran's missile and drone capabilities on the regional balance of power. Iran's ability to maintain its production capabilities directly affects the conflict dynamics in the Middle East and deterrence calculations, particularly in the tensions with Israel, where Iran's missile stocks and drone production remain a critical factor shaping the military strategies of the parties involved.
