NBC reports that damage to US bases in the Middle East is worse than officially acknowledged.
The article specifically references billions of dollars of damage to buildings, radar systems and aircraft, as well as Iran’s use of an F-5 to bomb a US air base in Kuwait.
This follows on from the US requesting private satellite companies not publically share images of US bases in the region.

That the US left all those planes on the tarmac as sitting ducks is inexcusable this many years after the start of the Ukraine war. Military malpractice on full display.

I’d 100% believe this. I have a friend deployed on a base in the middle east and one night during a discord call we heard atleast 3 different drone strikes happen. Like always the US propaganda machine will make it seem like theyre steamrolling this war

The US military is over priced and out of date. Even more obvious, war requires smart leaders and a competent administrative state. We have idiotic cosplayers, robber barons and tv stars.
And this war is a war of aggression, the choice of one man, Donald Trump, but made possible by the complicity of congress and both parties in the US deep state’s war machine, which has been more or less at war with Iran since it threw off the US-backed police state under the Shah.

What the Americans and Israelis didn’t realise was that between the Ten Day War and this war, the Iranians had been working very hard with the Chinese to integrate their global positioning system into their targeting systems. The result was that far more of the incoming missiles were on target and had to be intercepted, and that oversaturated the incoming systems. During the Ten Day War, many of them were off target and couldn’t just be left to go into non-civilian areas or non-military targets. Probably a big wake-up call. We’ve seen this before in the very short conflict between India and Pakistan, Pakistan was able to use Chinese air defence missiles to great effect against Western jets.
