The base has a checkpoint at +24° 13' 27.95", +44° 42' 20.69", two surface launchpads (looks like giant clock) at coordinates 24.221704,44.696349 and at 24.215173, 44.713762. The underground complex has at least 7 entrance gates, probably more (from 24.209879,44.698465 to 24.206161,44.698471).
This base equiped with DF-3 intermediate-range ballistic missiles that Saudi Arabia reportedly acquired from China in the 1980s.
The liquid-fuelled DF-3 was an early Chinese nuclear weapon delivery system and is believed to have a range of at least 2,000 km with a 2,000 kg warhead. The nuclear/thermonuclear warhead is also an option.
