JERICHO ENGINE TEST STAND
The image above depicts the Jericho SRBM/MRBM family's rocket motor test facility in Israel. The motor test stand is located on the grounds of what is believed to be Israel's main ballistic missile base, suggesting that nearly all research, development, and deployment activity was consolidated in one location. Identifying this facility demonstrates the ability to locate facilities and installations even when the imagery is crudely censored through slight pixellation. Note that the same primary structures and components present at similar facilities in North Korea or Pakistan are present and identifiable despite the censorship effort.

I'm still waiting to see an international effort to account for the missile and nuclear warfare development of the jewish state. Great work Sean. Now is clear that a solution to nuclear and missile race in the Middle East must include Israel too.
Soon Iran will have S-300.
Federal Agency for Mititary Cooperation of Russia confirmed that Russia and Iran reached agreement 2 years ago but SAMs itself are not send to Iran yet.
Sorry, only in Russian
