    New missiles, UAV, Drones have completely changed warfare - nearly all the doctrines of war are now being rewritten.

      Also interesting is that the US didn't need the base and was able to operate command and control from South Carolina.

        Because adversary was not capable/willing to disable satellites. russia or China will Kessler syndrom the orbit if their EW cant shut it down conventionally.

        But all the major offenses on Iran happened before the base was attacked.

    Bit of a storm in a teacup. The article indicts that they knew it was likely to be a target and removed all personnel from it as it wasn't needed.

      Isn't that even worse? They even knew they couldn't protect their high value asset? As the article states, this center has been around for a long time and seen plenty of wars. But this time was different.

        Make it look weak to draw fire away from higher value targets?

        How is it high-value if it wasn’t used?

    That is the consequence of being on the leech of Israel. Everything to hide the Epstein list.
