On propaganda again. ALL HAIL THE FREE PRESS, CNN have been looking at satellite photos.
"New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones."
The propaganda (understandable) from the WH is that Iran is randomly lashing out in it's death throes, firing rockets and drones all over with no target.
I think it is pretty good propaganda.
But what Iran is doing, as folk have said, is trying to overwhelm defences, force defenders to use up defensive ammo, divert defences, and probe.
The article goes on :
"Buildings housing similar radar systems were also hit at two locations in the United Arab Emirates, CNN analysis shows, although it is unclear if the equipment was damaged.
The radar system for an American THAAD missile battery in Jordan was struck and apparently destroyed in the first days of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, a satellite image taken on Monday shows. It was at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, over 500 miles from Iran.
The radar is a critical element for the high-end missile interceptor system, which is used to engage and destroy ballistic missiles as they fly toward their target. According to a 2025 Missile Defense Agency Budget, it costs just shy of half-a-billion dollars.
Damaging the radar does not make the THAAD system completely inoperable, experts say, as there are other assets and configurations, but it certainly degrades capability and flexibility."
Of course, CNN could be Iranian propaganda. But I trust them. They are doing what free press should do, seeking the truth.
IMO, this is what happens when Trump avoids the US constitution and does not go through Congress to declare war. He does not get the free press on side.
The full CNN investigation is here with their photos etc.
