Missile Shower System

Each system consists of a rail mounted wagon with the ability to vertically carry five missiles, the vertically-stowed missile "magazine" then brings the groups of missiles into their launch positions for rapid, consecutive launching from the underground silo.[5][6][7] This system is the first of its kind, and has no parallels anywhere else in the world in the missile arsenals of other countries.[8]

The Shower System offers several advantages compared to the conventional method of launching a single missile from a single silo at a time:

1. In a total war scenario, especially fighting an enemy with air superiority (e.g. the U.S.), when underground silos can only launch missiles one at a time, they can only launch a few missiles before being detected and hit by a counter strike. The missile magazine system allows Iran to launch significantly more missiles before any likely retaliation.[6]
2. It allows Iran to overwhelm enemy anti-ballistic missile defense systems with a rapid barrage of a large number of medium-range ballistic missiles.[5][6]
3. Since the missiles on their individual platforms are ready to fire, there is no need to reload individual launchers using a crane or trans-loader, thus storing the missiles more efficiently and taking up less space at the site.[5][7]

A missile magazine-type base has been discovered to be under construction near Khorgo, Hormozgan Province.[9][10]

The Iranian "Missile Shower System" has been unveiled[11][12] on 4 November 2020 by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Major General Hossein Salami. Salami said at the mentioned unveiling ceremony: "Our missile power guarantees the withdrawal of enemies (from the region)." He also added: our deterrent and defense capabilities provide Iran with great power which supports the country in demonstrating its political will and imposing it on the enemy if necessary.[8][13]
