Iran's Revolutionary Guards revealed a new underground, fortified "missile city" and an unknown, advanced stealth cruise missile in a video released Tuesday. According to the Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the regime and the Revolutionary Guards, the unveiling ceremony deep underground was attended by the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, Ali Abdollahi, and the Commander of the Air Force and Space of the Revolutionary Guards, Majid Mousavi.
Iranian channels analyzed the features of the new stealth cruise missile, which is described as a technological leap for Iran. The missile's body is reportedly designed with broken lines and sharp angles to make it difficult for air defense systems to detect and intercept. Unlike the known "Paveh" cruise missile, where the engine was mounted externally, the new model integrates the propulsion unit entirely within the missile body, similar to the Russian Kh-101 missile.
The missile's wings fold into the body for storage and launch from specialized containers. A dedicated opening for an electro-optical guidance system has been identified in the missile's nose, enabling independent guidance and pinpoint accuracy in the final stage of targeting.
