    ❗️Bloomberg: Iran retains at least 1,700 ballistic missiles, produces 50 monthly despite US-Israeli strikes

    A western intelligence assessment claims that Iran can produce around 50 ballistic missiles monthly, roughly half its prewar capacity, and retains at least 1,700 missiles despite months of US and Israeli airstrikes, according to Bloomberg.

    The assessment further suggests Iran may retain thousands of Shahed-type attack drones. Despite US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s claims that more than 80 percent of Iran’s industrial base had been destroyed, Washington continues to face concerns over the impact of its own depleted weapons stockpiles on military readiness in other regions.

    I think the 50 missiles a month projection is a gross undercount. I would not he surprised if missile production gas exceeded pre-war levels.

      Marandi says they are digging new tunnels and expanding their bases because they are out of room to store the missiles. The fact that they just showed off a new base and it already looked crowded with stock kinda reaffirms that.
