i see in the amrican ones there are 10s of computers and 100s of passwords.. but this one all u see is a remote pad with only 2 switches..

they need to be improved..

The door locks looks very simple.
And i dont know how they are going to keep undetected from the sats.
Our enemy will know whether they are dummy silos are the original ones.

They will not be undetected, but destroying them in case of war will be difficult, I think.

what do you want with a hundred computer when all it takes is a laptop to connect to the imbedded systems and one button to fire it off?

Fair enough.. but what about the security?

As someone already said somewhere (I think?) this place looks more like a demonstrator for officials and media and not the real deal. Of course I'm no expert, but the doors look too thin for the blast.

American version:

In what picture do you determine the thickness of the doors Barb?

the force he is using to open and close it.

Aryana again smoke ONLY when you play video games, much more fun..

YMJ is referring to the door on the Iranian silos/bunker...

it is you who smokes crack. that has effected you. i said he opend the door easly

We dont have crack in sweden, not yet at least..
But everyone can see that what ever it is that you smoke have affected you...

This one...



As you see, very thin doors and very rudimentary hinges. I've seen normal doors in Iran with better ones. 

this is the problem with admitting weed use on a forum.

In your defense, Carl Sagan cites weed as an influence for his works. major win.

i know you cant read because of crack it is ok.

Barberry,

I think the difference in thickness between access doors in American silos and this Iranian silo come down to one thing: the missiles.

American silos today accomodate the Minuteman ICBM whose thrust is MUCH more powerful and MUCH hotter than the thrust from the Shahab-3 and therefore the access door for this Iranian silo doesn't need to be nearly as thick since the heat and stress it will have to deal with will be much less.

YMJ,

I was pondering that myself. Traditionally, the missiles are loaded via a track system (like a railroad) within the bunker and then using a hydraulic lift system to erect the missile into place. I don't see such a system from the images of the silo so far so I am not sure how they loaded..One hopes they didn't just drop it in from above..

lol I dont think they just drop it from above. Theres gotta be a loading mechanism from below.

I wonder if a silo or set of silos can be made that the missile is put together underground, so absoloutly no way of telling from above if its a silo or not.
