Apparently Iran has run out of launchers . Their BM mfg capacity as per Israel is 300 per month as on date.No clue what the current stock status happens to be. However, there are reports that Iran still possesses the sizeable stock of the latest variants of its BM. Yet to find more credible sources other than some OSINT accounts on X.
Some source seem to indicate that Iran is running out rather quickly as the strike frequency drops. It could be that there is a shortage of TELs as they are a primary target.
Iran’s Missile Firepower Has Almost Run Out - JINSA
With U.S. and Israeli forces rapidly destroying roughly 75 percent of Iran’s launch capacity, the regime can no longer conduct sustained, large-volume barrages. Iran can still mount limited missile attacks, but each attack burns through its remaining launcher force and forces even smaller...jinsa.org
Based on these estimates they've amassed a sizeable arsenal . While Israel & the US have successfully targeted certain stockpiles & mfg facilities ,there are only so many such sites which can be targeted in 6 days of operations.
Whereas Iran has built multiple virtual underground cities interconnected thru a maze of tunnels with dedicated mfg & storage facilities for BMs & other weapons including drones.
Destruction of all these units will take time. For Iran to resume firing of BMs like it did in the first 2-3 days they'd have to come up with launchers pretty soon . When & how they do this is anyone's guess.
Hope our Chauthi mein chaar baar fail dhotis , BA Hons in Eng Lit babooos & uniforms take note . Not only do you require a huge inventory of TBM & CMs , you also need an inventory of spare launchers , multiple safe storage sites preferably interconnected with each other , express war time mfg capacities of both missiles & launchers etc.
For if you're going up against China - the factory of the world , you better be at the top of the game or be prepared to take losses like Iran is , especially true not just for defence related sites & mfg facilities but also all that shiny infrastructure Leaderji is spending lakhs of crores on to build neglecting our defence.
