Pivoting over to Iran war damage, or lack thereof, I saw a report about this on the Beeb some days ago.

BBC imagery shows Iran's strikes on US bases worse than admitted

BBC analysis of satellite images and videos shows Iran has hit at least 20 US military sites across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain, and Oman since the February 28 outbreak of war, with some analysts placing the figure at 28. Damage includes advanced anti-ballistic missile systems at Al Ruwais and Al Sader in the UAE, Muwaffaq Salti in Jordan, and multiple aircraft at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia. Losses reportedly include three THAAD batteries — each worth around $1 billion — and 42 aircraft, with experts noting Iran’s shift from mass barrages to precise high-value targeting.

The USian regime keeps trying to tell us US defensive systems are impenetrable and as perfect as Trump himself....they couldn't cover up the hits on the Kuwait airport passenger terminal, however.

A few days ago, the US reported two Iranian missiles bound for Kuwait broke up and fell into the sea, while three headed toward Bahrain were intercepted. I wondered, at the time, why Iran, with thousands of missiles and drones in inventory, would only fire two or three. Were there actually 10, 20, or more in each wave, and the US not talking about them to create the false impression of US perfection?

Son of a gun.

Satellite imagery appears to show damage at US air base in Kuwait after Iranian attack

New imagery of the site released by Soar Atlas seems to show a destroyed shelter at the US Ali Al Salem Air Base, despite US Central Command (Centcom) insisting that all the missiles and drones targeting the site were "defeated".

Soar Atlas noted that the area surrounding the base "appears charred, with multiple impact craters visible nearby".

In a statement, Centcom said that Iran had fired "several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbours", but claimed that "all failed to hit their intended targets".

It added that the two missiles fired at Kuwait "fell short or broke apart enroute" and that three missiles launched at Bahrain "were immediately intercepted" by air defences.

God on Earth Trump, and Kegsbreath, are "Baghdad Bob".

All this invites the question, have more of our guys been killed, and covered up by telling their families they died in "training accidents"?
