The Iranian government has increased rocket production to a record level in anticipation of a new war with Israel. Learning from the Twelve-Day War, production capacity is being increased in Tehran, and Iran’s goal is to gain numerical superiority in a potential conflict and disrupt Israel’s air defense systems.
Elchi.az, referring to Haberglobal, reports that the Iranian government, learning from the 12-day war, is increasing production capacity in Tehran, and Iran’s goal is to gain numerical superiority in a potential conflict and disrupt Israel’s air defense systems.
After the losses suffered in the Twelve-Day War, the Iranian government is rebuilding its defense and missile industry and preparing for a second conflict with Israel. With military and raw material support from China, Tehran has doubled its production capacity and is stockpiling thousands of new ballistic missiles, and tensions in the region are rising again at both military and nuclear levels.
It is reported that Iran’s warehouses contain thousands of new generation Fattah-1 and Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles and that production continues “24 hours”.
Production has doubled.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi said, “Today, our missile power is many times greater than it was during the Twelve-Day War,” while Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh announced that production has increased in both quality and quantity. According to military officials speaking to media outlets close to Tehran, missile factories in Iran are operating “24 hours”. It is also reported that Iran plans to launch 2,000 missiles in a single launch in the next war, instead of 500 missiles in 12 days. Ali Vaez of the International Crisis Group says that the aim of this strategy is to overload Israeli air defense systems, disable platforms and penetrate them.
Missiles are Being Updated
Iran is upgrading the Fattah-1, Haj Qassem and Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile series used during the war with higher speed and maneuverability. These missiles are reportedly specifically designed to counter Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow air defense systems. Experts emphasize that Tehran has begun testing the formula of “more effectively disabling defense systems by launching more missiles” in the field.
Strong support from China
According to global intelligence publications, China has sent 2,000 tons of sodium perchlorate to Iran, which is used in the production of missile fuel. European intelligence sources have confirmed that these shipments have reached Iran’s Bandar Abbas port. In addition, Beijing is reportedly preparing to provide Iran with HQ-9 air defense systems. This agreement allows for the reconstruction of Iran’s air defense systems, which were destroyed by Israel in the past war.
