bunkers in the Sedot Mikha #MRBM base
part 1
The northern compound: 14 msl bunker.
Bunkers (25x12m) are able to hold two Jericho II/III (~ 15-16m) side by side.
Missiles are on trailers that will be pulled out by civil trucks if needed.
Southern compound has 9 msl bunkers

2
Both compounds have one drive through shelter which is a bunkered garage with five bays.
The neighboring platforms of the northern compound are covered with cover shields which looks like huge tin roofs with a camo scheme.
Maybe in order to shield training with the missiles

3
Both SSM compounds include one additional bunker each.
These bunkers might serve as onside warhead storage or simply to store aux vehicles

4
some sources associate a small compound in the north-western section of the base as a further missile garage site.
But a simple look at the road radii show that you can hardly maneuver a 20m truck-trailer system in that area.
These 4 bunkers most likely serve as warhead storage

5
There are another 5 bunkers along the connecting road to the southern complex.
But the road radii implies that they probably do not serve as additional missile or trailer storage but more likely for launch support vehicles
