The U.S. military base in the Middle East is bombed, four large hangars turned into ruins, and Trump finally lost his temper!
Satellite images show that Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar has been severely damaged by Iranian missiles. This is the heart of the U.S. military in the entire Middle East, with a large scale and full equipment, even strategic bombers can take off and land here. However, an Iranian missile attack completely overturned this place.
Clear satellite images show: the four large hangars originally neatly arranged next to the runway are now just a pile of twisted steel bars and burned ruins, the surrounding buildings are also basically destroyed, and there are several deep craters on the ground. These hangars do not house ordinary aircraft, but rather the core forces of the U.S. military in the Middle East - reconnaissance aircraft, refueling aircraft, and possibly even stealth fighters. This bombing effectively broke the eyes and wings of the U.S. military's air power in the Middle East.
Trump's reaction this time is indeed different. He changed his past attitude and directly said, "I'm not afraid to send ground forces." He also specifically pointed out, "I won't say 'never send troops' like previous people, I will say 'if necessary, we will send them.'" How angry must he have been to say such words about sending ground forces.
The destruction of Al-Udeid Base is more than just material loss. It exposed a fatal weakness in the U.S. defense system in the Middle East. A base that was supposedly as solid as a fortress protected by Patriot and THAAD systems was bombed like this, which was absolutely unimaginable for the White House, and it is a huge blow to America's global military prestige.
Da Ge believes that the more troubling thing is that allies begin to doubt America's protective capabilities, while enemies take the opportunity to expand their attacks. If a strong response is not made at this moment, the entire situation in the Middle East may get completely out of control.
