Been doing some work with the history of the USN operations pre and post Preying Mantis and I've been studying the imagery of the Persian Gulf islands and came across a bunch of what appear to be missile battery sites on most if not all of the islands.
3 on Larak Island

And a whole bunch of goodies on Lesser Tonb, including what appears to be a subterranean facility under construction.

Anybody have an idea what kind of weapons are used here? The positions all have the same 3-fingered design, and face the open waters of the Hormuz, so my first guess is for Silkworm missiles or similar ASM's, but I could be wrong.
PS, sorry for the links, I woulda posted pics but I cant figure out how to screenshot em.
