Why would it restore that infrastructure above ground? Would have thought they move it to the mountains?

If you read the full post he says the same thing by the end

Very didactic article about how Qassem E-Basir is working.

Tell me what else Iran needs from China or Russia, except for fighter aircraft?

Instead of spending dollars and buying expensive Russian and Chinese weapons, Iran should subsidise its own defense industry.

This is the greatest illusion held by the vast majority of countries in the world today, especially those where religious fundamentalism is rampant.

On the surface, they appear capable of manufacturing a vast array of "domestic products," ranging from civilian to military applications. However, if you were to conduct a deep-dive analysis into the supply chain of any such "domestic product," the findings would likely defy your expectations. Yet, people generally prefer to dwell in a pleasant dream rather than confront the harsh reality.

Here is a simple test you can try yourself to conduct such an in-depth analysis:

Which countries in the world are truly capable of independently manufacturing a standard military-grade bullet—starting from raw natural materials and proceeding all the way to the finished product—without relying on any foreign materials, consumables, or machinery?

If you want to avoid the hassle, you can let an AI tool handle this question.
