Iran has lifted the veil of secrecy over one of its secret underground air force bases. Most of the dislocations have been deciphered, it is also called Eagle 44. Apparently, it is located somewhere in the mountains in the north of the country. The main task of the object in case of war is to repel a surprise air attack from the United States or Israel.
A short television report about Eagle 44 was presented by Iranian state television with the participation of two high-ranking representatives of the command of the Iranian Armed Forces. It follows from it that the base is located in several spacious tunnels, punched into the slopes of the mountains. 1979 F-4 Phantom fighters are often purchased here. In total, Iran had 230 fighters, which until now have been partially combat-ready (by 58 out of 60%).
The fighter in the report is equipped with an AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile, laser-guided by the Iranian Nasr anti-ship missile, which is the approximate location of Eagle 44 near the sea. Given that the combat radius of the F-4 is about 650 km, the base may be located about 150 km from the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, from where Iranian Phantoms could hit ground targets at US bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
However, as private individuals admit, despite the secrecy, the exact location of the base will sooner or later be established, since the impossibility of hiding from modern means of reconnaissance of communications, the supply of “Eagle 44” is not available to everyone. Yes, and the complete security of the object is questionable. Kieti eru if one day beourns
