something not being talked about: Iran used a large number of concealed container launchers, rather than missile TELs

US reports very recently estimated Iran only had 180 missile TELs, guess they forgot to count these container launchers...

useful tool to conceal missiles away from the missile base for extended period before launch

bigger problem is limited destructive impact

one could hope it's because they used smaller warheads on purpose to extend range
In real war Iran will launch less accurate missiles equipped with submunition warheads to take out runways and soft targets, and accurate missiles with unitary warheads against hardened aircraft shelters

It’s a real war now.

Upgraded, List, I think Shahab-3 does not exist anymore because of the emergence of Emad MaRV which it morphed into.

the hundreds/thousands of Shahab-3 produced from 2003-2008 did not disappear into thin air

They became Emad with new MARVs. Not saying Emad esp TRVed version (Ghadr like RV) is not built from scratch but Norbert Brugge agrees with me that Shahab-3 were probably converted to Emad-I with MaRVs. Smart move if true, suddenly you have a ~2000 KM ranging separating warhead and accurate missile.

I am not sure about that

There is also Ghadr with MaRV = Emad

Shahab-3 with MaRV = Emad

So Ghadr = Shahab-3?

Shahab-3M turned into Ghadr-H/F with exo-atmosphric thrust/vaned RV (first seen in Great Prophet excersizes). Ghadr-H/F later morphed into Qassed SLV with 2 x additional solid-fueled kick-off stages (3 stages in total) to deliver Satellites, which many including me believed was an ICBM test by IRGC, because if the third stage is RV and 2nd is a solid-fueled Salman to push it further than minimum range would be ~6000 KM.

Shahab-3C turned into Emad with a different winged MaRV for endo-atmospheric manuvering.

The story of how and why Tehrani-Moghaddam died. Defense department refused to work with him on development of a solid fuel.

He did it himself and the fuel he developed was unstable and exploded:

Thanks for this update, looks great.

Please which LACMs do you know Hezbollah has. I believe they have Nasrs or/and Kowsars, but do you think Hezbollah has other (probably longer range) CMs in its inventory as we speak? it needs them badly.
