Sh1n reposted an analysis by Ben Tzion Macales based on data provided by @hey_itsmyturn. Macales said he created a map and chart showing all reported ballistic missile launch events across Iran from October 11 through November 10.
According to the analysis, the vast majority of the launches occurred during exercises by different commands and formations rather than as part of operational activity. The exercises were described as intended to improve missile accuracy, train crews and command-and-control networks, assess operational readiness, sample-check inventory, test new systems and demonstrate capabilities.
The analysis highlighted the concentration of launches from the Isfahan and Yazd areas, where bases reportedly store long-range missiles capable of reaching Israel.
Based on reports and calculations following the two most recent operations, Macales estimated that Iran currently possesses about 1,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel. He assessed that launching at least 60 missiles does not materially change the overall inventory, but argued that, without an active production system, those missiles cannot be replaced in the near term.
The repost preserved an earlier quoted post from Macales:
The Iranians have been firing ballistic missiles every day for several weeks without interruption, as part of exercises by the various commands across the country.
I wonder whether they realize they are wasting their strategic weapons...
Not that I’m complaining or anything.
