At the last moment, Iran "borrowed China" to beat the U.S. military: Exposing the underground arsenal, with a lot of information

There is a lot of discussion about the situation in the United States and Iran. On the one hand, on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of the senior general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran and Iran, the United States and Iran once again entered a highly tense standoff. On the other hand, in the final period of the command of the United States armed forces, people were generally worried May launch the final madness and strike against Iran.

such concerns are impossible. In recent times, US aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines have been dispatched to the Z1z Gulf region , and the latest news shows that the US military has sent two B-52 bombers from the United States Minot Air Force Base in Z2z North Dakota to the Middle East. This is the fourth time the US military has taken such actions in the past two months. To some extent, the frequent deployment of the US military may be preparing for a possible conflict.

And as the last moment approaches, this worry is increasing day by day. A piece of news from Iran a few days ago seems to be using China to beat the US military. What is going on? We know that although Iran has always threatened to retaliate thoroughly against the US military, it has not taken reciprocal retaliatory measures. To a large extent it is because of the disparity in military power between the two countries. The gap can be clearly seen from the comparison of simple paper data. The data shows that the US military currently has 1.4 million active-duty soldiers and 1.1 million reserve personnel. Although Iran’s total number of soldiers ranks eighth in the world, it has a total force of 545,000. Compared with the US military, the gap is not generally large. In the Air Force fighters, Iran has only 480 fighters and , and they are basically old fighters. Of course, this phenomenon is widespread in Iran’s weapons and equipment. This is directly affected by the US arms embargo for many years. Needless to say, the strength of the US Air Force fleet is more than 13,000 fighter jets, and most of them are advanced in performance.

. But then again, Iran is by no means inferior. Iran’s missile strength is a trump card to deal with American threats. According to a recent report on the website of the Reuters news agency , Iran’s national media exposed several photos of the underground arsenal of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Although there are only a few simple photos, the amount of information contained is huge. From the photos, it is obvious that the number of missiles in Iran's underground arsenal is very large. Sharp-eyed observers have discovered that there are two main types of missiles Iran reserves in the underground arsenal: one may be the Iranian-made version of the Chinese C-704 anti-ship missile, and the other may be the Chinese C-802 anti-ship missile. Iranian domestic version of the missile.

Before the Iranian arms embargo agreement came into effect, China exported a C-704 missile production line to Iran in 2010. Subsequently, Iran developed a domestic version of the C-704 missile through its own production improvements. The biggest advantage of the missile is that it uses a variety of seekers, has a strong anti-interference ability, and is not easy to be detected by the warship radar. Therefore, the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf can pose a greater threat to the US military.

and C-802 missile is a more advanced missile than C-704. The missile has a range of 120 kilometers. With Iran’s improvements, the maximum range of these missiles has reached 200 kilometers. Analysts pointed out that most of the waters of Persian Gulf and are within 200 kilometers from the Iranian coast. This also means that Iran can cover most of the waters of the Persian Gulf simply by launching the missile from the shore.

. It can be said that China's missile technology is obvious to all. Iran's disclosure of such missile information is to a large extent deterring the US military. In the public perception, Iran’s missile technology may be controversial, but Chinese missiles may be able to mitigate such controversies to the greatest extent. Even if American warships are advanced, they cannot guarantee a full retreat in the face of the saturation attack of these missiles.
