🕳️ Released Phantom Node 75: The Missile Phantom — SHIG, SBIG, Shahid Bakeri branches
- Foundation date
18 October 2025
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
Names are included because they appear in open international sources.

The use of data or analysis results from this project, whether in part or in full, is expressly prohibited if the objective is to support or conceal their criminal activity.
The project may be freely used by individuals and organizations that combat evil, corruption, and aggression.
Mode: Distributed Military Factory. Engineering Node of Proliferation.
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 75: The Missile Phantom — SHIG, SBIG, Shahid Bakeri branches
A production ecosystem that turns materials and drawings into weapons.
Who is this?
The manufacturing cores of Iran’s missile capability — the Shahid Hemmat (SHIG), Shahid Bagheri / Bakeri (SBIG) groups and their branches. They are responsible for production of liquid- and solid-propellant missiles and for many UAV components.
Type of node:
Industrial-proliferation, manufacturing-technology node.
Status:
A principal production cluster operating under higher defense supervision.
Form of control:
Sustained procurement orders, modular production across branches, smuggling channels for components, use of procurement agents.
Phantom image:
Workers over blueprints; missiles and drones emerge from plans.
What remains after the phantom:
Hidden workshops, component batches, procurement trails and contracts.
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
Continuous military orders, access to state resources, ability to integrate imported or illicit components, and modular distribution of production to obscure origin.
How did it become a phantom?
By splitting and dispersing production across many sites — the face of the maker dissolves into the network.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Because the manufacturing web adapts: reverse engineering, external partnerships, and sanction-evasion channels keep it operational.
Phantom’s condition:
Active, scalable, technically resilient.
After the regime:
— Investigations into supply chains;
— Targeted restrictions on exports of related technologies;
— Potential legal action against entities and individuals listed in sanctions.
Collective reaction:
We do not oppose industry — we oppose hidden weapons made without oversight. Transparency and accountability are non-negotiable.
Core principle:
When production hides behind shells and contracts, proliferation becomes industrialized.
Alt-text:
Factory figures hold technical drawings; rockets and a drone rise from the papers amid industrial shapes.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 75: The Missile Phantom: Key Manufacturing Groups (SHIG, SBIG). The "Distributed Military Factory" Regime.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Distributed Military Factory Regime" (or "The Engineering Proliferation Node"). The essence of this node lies in the segmentation and specialization of missile system production (liquid-fuel – SHIG, solid-fuel – SBIG) under the unified control of AIO/DIO. This phantom is the final assembler of all imported components and the primary manufacturing power for arms exports, including UAV technologies.
Regimes (which it directly shapes/supports):
🏭 Regime of "Accelerated Production": SHIG and SBIG operate under continuous military order from the IRGC, allowing them to rapidly scale volumes required for both domestic use and export (e.g., missile arsenals for proxy forces and Russia).
🔬 Regime of "Imitative Engineering": The groups specialize in reverse engineering and the imitation of foreign military technologies (e.g., foreign missile systems and UAVs), increasing their autonomy from external supply.
📦 Regime of "Modular Smuggling": The distribution of the manufacturing process among various branches (Shahid Bakeri branches) allows for the concealment of component origins and their acquisition in separate, small batches via smuggling networks.
👤 Regime of "Technical Accountability": Individuals like Naser Maleki or Mehrdada Akhlaghi Ketabachi (leaders of SHIG/SBIG) bear direct responsibility for technological advances and production efficiency, making them key links in sanctions lists.
Tools (which it actively uses/oversees):
🔧 Specialized Laboratories: The use of internal research units for the testing and adaptation of new alloys, electronics, and fuel systems.
🌐 Procurement Networks: Direct interaction with procurement agents to acquire critical elements (navigation, gyroscopes, electronic components) from global manufacturers.
💼 Contract Facades: The creation of fictitious manufacturing contracts disguised as civilian engineering or research to mask true military activity at their sites.
⚡ Technology Transfer: The active transfer of UAV and missile technologies to other Iranian military units and external partners, such as Hezbollah or the Houthis.
Civilizational Influences (which it embodies/exploits):
💣 Internationalization of Threat: These groups are the real source of missile and UAV terror that extends far beyond the Middle East (supplies to Russia).
💰 Coercion for Ransom: The build-up of missile potential by these groups creates a political and military leverage for Iran, forcing the international community to make concessions (or "ransom" for containment).
❌ Security Deficit: The existence of this node undermines any international efforts at missile non-proliferation and arms control.
⛓️ Creation of a "Weapons Conveyor": The embodiment of a model of continuous, criminally funded production of weapons of mass destruction under the cover of state institutions.
