 File under: Govt of Iran 

#1 Deployment to the field and set-up takes time....radars, generators, communications equipment, cellies, chow runs, etc. (no one really wants to live at a launch site) All of that buzzing, whirling, and commotion creates both visual and electronic signatures.

As with Saddam's tanks and HETS (heavy equipment transports), those mobile Iranian launchers very likely reside in motor pools or sheds. I can still remember the CENTOM daily reporting:

"Sir: This morning's imagery indicates they have 469 HETS in station (motor pools), and 13 participating in training and local, pre-planned defensive exercises. No HETS have been seen in the VIC (vicinity) of railheads."

When the alarm sounds, you've usually got enuf time to down a cup of joe and get from the DFAC to the bunker.

#3 Demonstration attacks are stupid. Everyone who thinks we should have given the Japanese a "demonstration" of the A-bomb, please head back to Womyns Studies, hm'kay?
