Iran's Game Changing Underground Missile Launchers Explained

from? That missile is coming out of a hole in a tunnel. It's a tunnel. There's no way of knowing which way that tunnel goes. The tunnel may be going between those two launches we just saw. We don't know. The Iranians have built underground tunnels crisscrossing areas where they have missiles deployed. At the top of each, at chosen locations, they have a hole in the tunnel to the surface. But the hole to the surface has a very light roof on top of it, a very lightweight roof, and sand on top of that roof. So if you were to look at this frame by frame,

what you would first see, and I've examined this, what you first see is a bright flash of brilliant light pushing its way through the top of the tunnel. And then you see that bright flash of light rise up and then all of a sudden bloom out and that's the rocket exhaust because the rocket is now moved through the tunnel. In other words it punches its way through this roof which

through the tunnel. In other words it punches its way through this roof which is not hard to do. This is typical launch procedures.
