Now I remember this place,,,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bandar Abbas is the site of a Chinese-built cruise missile production facility for the manufacture and upgrade of Silkworm (CSS-N-2) cruise missiles. There is also reportedly a land-based Silkworm missile launch site at Bandar Abbas.

By the summer of 1987 Iran began flying aerial combat exercises near the Strait of Hormuz, using half a dozen F-4 fighters to practice intercepting other planes. Iran may have moved several of its few remaining F-14 fighters to the strait. All these planes were operating from the airfield at Bandar Abbas. Iran also built additional sites for Chinese-made Silkworm anti-ship missiles, possibly to be able to move the missiles from site to site, to confound an adversary’s attack planning.
