Iran opposition group reveals alleged drone command centers, manufacturing sites
2021-10-07
[IsraelTimes] The Quds Force of the elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), responsible for Iran’s controversial operations abroad, is increasingly using drones as the main means for carrying out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s and supplying proxies, an exiled opposition group says.

The National Council of Resistance® of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
(NCRI) says that the drones are being manufactured at eight plants in Iran, sometimes using materials smuggled from abroad, and then sent to countries like Iraq and Syria where they are assembled and then deployed.

The NCRI, the political wing of the People’s Mujahedin (MEK), which is banned in Iran, says it based its findings on reports from the network of supporters the MEK claims to maintain inside the country.

It supplies images that it claims are of drone production plants but it isn’t immediately possible to independently verify the claims.

The Quds Force, which was led by commander Qassem Soleimani
until his killing in a US strike in Iraq in 2020, is accused by the West of leading Iranian operations in Iraq, Syria and Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
and seeking to strike Western targets.

The NCRI says the Quds Force is "chiefly using various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for its terrorist operations as well as for supplying its proxies in the region."

"To an extent, the regime is trying to compensate for its outdated and decrepit air force with this technology," it adds.

It says that to produce the drones Iran has been smuggling some of the main parts, such as engines and electronic components from China as well as raw materials from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
and South Korea.

It says there is now a specialized UAV Command among the five command units of the IRGC Aerospace Force. The UAV Command has several groups that are stationed at various bases across Iran.
