IRGC: We used about 7 percent of the missiles, and we have about 100 of them

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has made a statement that is unlikely to generate much enthusiasm in the US and Israel. The IRGC press office stated that the overwhelming majority missilesThe missiles that Iran has used against enemy targets since February 28 were produced 10 or more years ago.

From the statement:



We haven't even used most of the missiles we produced recently, especially since the 12-Day War. Many of our missile arsenals remain untouched. Overall, we've used less than 7% of our missiles, of which we have around 100.

This is how Iran's security forces commented on Trump's statements that the lion's share of Iranian missiles and launchers have been destroyed.

Meanwhile, opinions in the US regarding the IRGC's statement are divided. Some believe it is close to the truth, given that Iran has only used its modern Khorramshahr-4 intermediate-range ballistic missiles twice. Others believe Tehran is bluffing and trying to boost morale in the country.

In any case, Iran clearly has no intention of surrendering and putting its head on the chopping block. The resistance continues, and Iranian strikes are extremely painful.

Experts say the military-technical losses Israel and the United States have suffered since early March are unprecedented for many years. Iran, of course, is also suffering. Today, the Israeli Air Force, with US support, again bombed Iranian cities. Significant damage was inflicted on Tehran's industrial zone. Moreover, Iran claims another school was hit. Israel and the United States have not yet commented on the attack on the school.

      Iran declared Ukraine its legitimate target after its aid to Israel. If Tehran were to launch a couple of Fattahs and Khorramshahrs at the Bankovskaya, GUR, General Staff, and other decision-making centers, military operations might subside. Because of the Ukrainian spiders' fight for the top spot, while their foreign handlers decide among themselves who will be at the top!

        Perhaps this is all propaganda about the number of missiles. But if Iran continues in this vein, Epstein's men may run out of anti-missiles. And then perhaps the most powerful strikes will follow.

      The fact is that shooting down a cheap drone requires an expensive air defense missile. And missiles, even more so, require an even more expensive missile defense missile. Meanwhile, the attacking drone or missile could be a dummy, carrying no warhead or guidance system, and essentially costing nothing. But you can't make air defense and missile defense missiles dummy.
      Therefore, the one who attacks remotely spends less money than the one who defends.

    The IRGC press secretary stated that the overwhelming majority of missiles that Iran has used against enemy targets since February 28 were produced 10 or more years ago.

    This is easy to verify based on shot-down missiles. For example, there's a video on YouTube of our missiles being inspected. Almost everything there is brand new, as determined by the year the microchips were manufactured. In other words, straight from the assembly line to the front, bypassing the warehouses.

    And even if they only used 0,1% of their missiles, and even the simplest ones, what does that mean? They did cause damage to the US, but it's mere crumbs, and they can't really punish the US, those... overseas. The US because of its "ego," and especially since there are already huge profits for US oil and gas corporations (the press reports). The US could go on and destroy Iran, and who would stop it? Iran wouldn't be able to keep firing missiles indefinitely. At most, it would destroy residential areas in Israel and its neighbors (the US and Israel's tobacco), and then what? Some Jews would return to Russia, others would rush to the US... But the US and Israel's own dream of complete supremacy in the Middle East would come true... The question is, what does this mean for Russia? Our authorities understand this and are hoping for something... Trump is leading the way, and there are no opponents in sight.

    This is, of course, bragging and propaganda. Overall, missiles no longer play the role they could. There's no element of surprise, launchers are missing, and targets that could actually be used with force (except radars) are apparently taboo. The primary weapon is UAVs, which have a long range. And the Strait.

      There is no element of surprise

      Given the existing missile detection capabilities of the US and Israelis, surprise plays no role. Iranian missile launches against them are not a surprise.
      the triggers are knocked out

      The question is certainly interesting, since all the statements are based on statements from the US and Israel. And they calculate in percentages, not absolute values.
      Targets that could actually be used painfully (except for radars) are apparently taboo

      The only target that is off-limits to Iran is the Dimona nuclear center, as after a strike there, the Iranians expect a nuclear strike from, if not the US, then Israel, although their adversary has no qualms about attacking Iran's nuclear facilities. Incidentally, Israel allegedly has ICBMs capable of reaching Moscow and St. Petersburg, but it doesn't use them against Iran—they carry nuclear/thermonuclear warheads, which are scarce and expensive.
      Iran has reportedly struck 80% of US air and missile defense sites in the region. Iran's primary targets are currently Israel and Jordan. Iran is also not attacking Israeli thermal power plants to avoid retaliatory strikes on its own thermal power plants, but it has launched attacks against the facilities of two Israeli corporations: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries.
      The main weapon is a UAV for a long time

      It depends on the targets; a UAV has a small warhead compared to the 0,5-2 t warhead of an IRBM.

        The only target that is taboo for Iran is the nuclear center in Dimona.

        And what about the desalination plants? Without them, it's total death there. The center was attacked, but there was no confirmation of a defeat. Maybe they were air raids, maybe they were just trying to scare people.
        I don't think Netanyahu will deactivate the "no" nuclear weapon. It's been too long since it's been used. It would definitely cause more problems for Israel than it's worth. And it would completely push the situation beyond repair.

        As for launchers? Well, multi-axis launchers for rare missiles are definitely a rare find; they're not very mobile, easy to track, and extremely difficult to replicate and hide. And without them, having missiles is useless. So, all that's left is UAVs for the oil industry.

    There's nothing suspicious about that. This likely includes air defense missiles and multiple rocket launchers converted into decoys with short warheads and long range.
