Iran unveils its first underground air force base, Reuters reports citing the IRNA news agency.
“It is one of the army’s most important air force bases, with fighters equipped with long-range cruise missiles and built in the depths of earth,” IRNA says.
The base, named “Eagle 44,” in an undisclosed location, is part of an attempt by Iran to put key military and nuclear facilities out of the way of potential strikes.
