According to the official IRNA news agency, Iran disclosed an underground air force base called “Eagle 44,” the first of its kind large enough to accommodate fighter jets.
According to IRNA, the “Eagle 44” base can store and operate combat jets and drones. The location of the base was not specified in the report.
According to IRNA, it is one of the most important air force sites in the country, built deep underground and holding aircraft armed with long-range cruise missiles.
Iran‘s army revealed details of another subterranean installation housing drones in May, as the government strives to conceal military assets from potential air assaults by regional arch-rival Israel.
“Any attack on Iran from our enemies, including Israel, will see a response from our many air force bases including Eagle 44,” Iran’s armed forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri told state TV.
