“immediately” detected by US. Yes, because that was the intention. The sanitation worker sweeping the streets in Khermanshahr knew the missiles were getting ready. Iran even informed Iraq hours before launch so no Iraqi casualties would occur. US was leaking Iran’s intentions days in advance. Al-Assad was a dual use base. Iranian teams were purposely using unsecure communications to be picked up by SIGNIT. So redneck Bob sitting in Centcom could tell everyone or is he now known as Barbara in the LBTQ+minusdivide* of the US military?
Iran gave as much warning as it could. The entire Al-Assad was a face saving operation. It was lame. Military Broadway theater. Iran was prepared for US troops to be killed, even tho it was intentionally avoiding the major bunkers from the Iraq-Iran war era.
If intention was covert and bloodshed. Then iran would have used its many silos that have existed years before Missile cities to fire that 15-20 missiles within mins of the assassination.
Come on now.
You have to realize there are 50+ single launch silos 24/7 ready with Sejil and various S-3’s derivatives to fire? This was unveiled by Iran years ago and origins go back to early 2000’s. Originally they housed silo ready S-3’s. A loaded S-3 can be filled for weeks before it has to emptied due to corrosive effects of fuel. And that has been remedied by the new gel fuel.
Add in the buried canisters, scattered across the military restricted deserts of Iran. These can stay buried for years without any need for major maintenance. Iran didn’t invent this shiny wheel, US actually built this design way back in the Cold War idk 70’s? Never took off since they had enough nukes to cleanse this earth several hundred times over.

Incorrect. Outdated information.
Ghadr (liquid fuel) has set up time of 30 mins assuming TEL launch. All the latest liquid missiles no longer need several hours set up time or large crew. This was remedied over 10 years ago under Tehrani Moghaddam.
Solid fuel even shorter launch time since there is no fueling cycle needed and an operates using a much smaller crew.
Comparing a war game with real time war scenario is incorrect on many levels. They are not testing how fast can you fire a missile. They are deterrence messages and chances for all crew teams to get live fire exercise repetition vs simulation. Plus heads of military have to arrive. It’s a show.
Just like when US flies it’s old dinosaur B-52 blimps in PG and thinks anyone gets scared of these anymore.
Incorrect - there are at least 5 missile cities. Plus smaller “villages”.

As for reload time:
So let’s recap:
1 missile city has let say 5 launch pits with blast proof chamber and cover.
Each wagon carries at least 4 missiles (video confirmed) with preloaded target data and fuel. Let say it takes 5 mins to load from wagon into launch pit + close + fire.
That means missile city should be able to fire its initial first load of 25 missiles in less than 30 mins (20 mins but adding margin of error yada yada) before wagon(s) goes back to storage side of the base to reload with another set of 4 missiles + fuel and targeting info (teams are doing this as the other teams fire - it’s like F1 pit stops but with missiles!).
Multiple that by 5 cities. That’s 125 missiles just from the cities and their initial long preassembled 1st volley, but hell let’s say 100 missiles because these damn “eye-ranians” can’t be that smart right? That’s what US bumpkins think.
- So with a 25% penalty: 100 missiles in 20-30 mins per [remaining] missile City reload assuming only 5 cities with 5 pits+4 wagon exist. Very conservative estimation - subtracted 25 missiles to make you happy.
- Plus Iran’s decades old always prepared single chamber silos lets say another 25 missiles there. 25 silos - 1 launch each in 20 mins. Very small number of silos for such a large country (but hey these are a bunch of dumb camel riders right?)
- Irans buried missile canisters in the desert let’s say again only 50 because these Iranians can’t even build construction trucks and excavators since they came from the desert. They used their hands to dig these missiles into the dirt, only managed 50 before they got distracted by staring at a glowing object in the sky — they realized later it was the sun. Classic Iranians.
- Now let’s add every single one of Iran’s missile storage bases that have short notice ready TELs with coordinates.

I’ll add another only a mere 50 TEL launches across the entire country of Iran in 20-30 min period.
NOTE: USA super duper CIA intelligence once said Iran has less than 100 TELS in existence. Us dumb brown people can’t possibly make military launch trucks. We can only make kaboob and smoke hookah baba Jan!
But sadly out of our only 100TELS gifted to us by aliens….50 broke down because we didn’t know you had to put oil in engine to make it run! Silly us!
P.S. I won’t even count the TELs that carry two missiles because those are clearly mock ups. Don’t tell anyone they are made of bastani sonati.
Ladies and gentlemen…..Drumroll please!
Total BMs launched by Iranian forces in a 30 minute period if they were missing those valuable things called chromosomes that Redneck Bob and Rabbi Shalom say we don’t have:
225 Ballistic missiles.
Yeah I’m sure Israel will be fine. Iron pancake maker will save the day.
