The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Question: Assess the mage done to US bases by Iran during the current Iran war as well as the depletion of us advanced weapon systems - both offensive and defensive

Several weeks ago, the BBC did an analysis, using satellite photos, of US bases around the ME, and determined that a lot more damage has been done, than the US is admitting to.

1 June 2026

Iran has damaged 20 US military sites since the start of the war, satellite images and videos analysed by BBC Verify show, suggesting the attacks are more extensive than publicly acknowledged.

Iran has targeted key facilities across eight countries in the Middle East since the end of February, causing millions of dollars of damage to state-of the-art air defence systems, refuelling aircraft and radars.


BBC: Iran attacks damage 20 US military sites since start of war, satellite images show

The media reports, as a for instance, Kuwaiti or Bahraini forces intercepting 2 or 4 incoming drones/missiles, without sayi8ng how many were in the attack. Were there only 2 or 4 in the attack, or did they intercept 2 or 4 out of 20 or 40?
