Today, Saturday, the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolution's Guard Corps revealed two bases for missiles and drones, in the presence of the IRGC Commander-in-Chief.

These two bases include surface-to-surface missile systems with advanced equipment, as well as attack drones capable of penetrating enemy air defense and avoiding radars. 

The Commander revealed that "the ability to operate and launch missiles has increased by more than six to seven times," adding, "We have significantly reduced the time and distance of preparing and launching missiles."
