00:00Iran hid its aircraft inside a mountain what you're seeing isn't an ordinary
00:03tunnel it's a runway leading to an underground airport
00:06the entire mountain has been converted into a hangar the rock layer itself
00:08serving as the outer shell hangar doors open the flying wing slides
00:12out accelerates lifts off this is Iran's Shahid 191
00:16flying wing layout no vertical tail fuselage and wings merged into one body
00:21one design purpose only make it harder for radar to detect
00:24it can execute reconnaissance missions and carry strike capability
00:27more importantly it's reusable hidden inside the mountain means even under
00:31heavy attack it still has a chance to fly again
00:33this model prioritizes survivability but Iran's drone system doesn't stop here
00:38there's also the Shahid 136 delta wing structure rear propeller propulsion
00:43looks like a drone but is essentially a one-way loitering munition
00:46over three meters long total weight around 200 kilograms
00:49launched by booster from a launch rack then cruised by a small piston engine
00:52navigating by satellite and inertial guidance along the preset route
00:56it doesn't return it doesn't get recovered mission complete is the end point
01:00it doesn't prioritize stealth it prioritizes cost
01:04only tens of thousands of dollars to build yet capable of flying over a thousand kilometers
01:08one emphasizes survival one emphasizes expendability
01:11one increases sustained sortie capability one drives down combat cost
01:15can't compete with conventional fighter jets
01:17change the approach underground facilities increase survivability low-cost
01:21platforms create numerical advantage one goal only not getting wiped out in a single strike
01:26making these images public isn't showing off
01:29it's demonstrating a capability even under high intensity attack
01:32the system continues functioning when a jet slides out from deep inside a mountain
01:36what the world sees is a takeoff what it truly represents is the ability to keep flying
01:40the state of the world
01:40the system is arriving in the same way
01:41is comparing to being able to do
01:41were not there for years to keep flying before the fact
