Iran has been mass producing missiles for 20 years. Not “decades”. Shahab-3 was late 90’s. Most of the early models like Shahab-3A are retired. Missiles fired during Iran-Iraq war were bought from NK, Libya, and Syria they weren’t mass produced.
Nobody knows how many BMs Iran can truly produce per month. Could be 10 could be 100.
I think Iran has a total arsenal of 10,000 BMs. Which isn’t a lot if you think about it.
If 20% of missiles fail and 30% of missiles get destroyed in air strikes/cruise missile during initial phase of war, that leaves 5,000 missiles that get close to target (not calculating another 20% for missiles that get intercepted).
On an unrelated note check this out: (If you don't wanna watch the entirety start from ~5:45...)
