The WSJ reports that Iran’s "missile cities" have become a strategic liability. Constant drone monitoring and neutralized air defenses have allowed the US and Israel to slash Iranian launches by 86%.
The Islamic Republic's "missile cities" strategy, once seen as a significant advantage in case of an armed conflict, has become its biggest weakness during the current conflict with Israel and the US, as what used to be a mobile platform difficult to target now became a predictable target easy to locate, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
According to the report, the US and Israel entered a phase in their operations -called Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion respectively- where there is no need to use manned vehicles to monitor the underground facilities of the regime to strike their positions when they prepare launchers.

Because every time a groundhog pops his head out of the hole, it gets blown off.
I wonnder why they don’t just bomb the entrances to these places to close them up.
A thermobaric device that drives overpressure deep into the underground areas would be better than just blocking an entrance. That technique worked well in Afghanistan.
I’m guessing Mossad agents broke into the offices of construction companies building these facilities and got the location and plans of all of them, probably tapped phones and emails, and likely interviewed Iranian workers who emigrated out of Iran over the last 30 years.
True.
I wonder if they are already using AI to identify and locate these mobile units. I know I would!
