The escalation in the Middle East adds a new chapter. Following a US military operation against Iranian territory, Tehran has launched missile and drone attacks against US military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. American forces have activated their air defense systems, while the international community calls for restraint.
Anti-Missile Systems in Action: Who Stops Whom? 🚀
The Iranian response has put the Patriot and THAAD air defense systems deployed in the region to the test. Military sources indicate that the interception rate has been uneven, with some ballistic missiles reaching their targets. Shahed suicide drones have been partially countered by C-RAM systems, but the volume of the attack has saturated defenses at several points. Infrastructure damage is reported, but with no confirmed casualties.
The Missile That Hit the Base and the Soldiers' WiFi 📶
While generals analyze maps, soldiers at the affected bases report that the worst part was not the impact, but that the military WiFi went down for three hours. Some recruits commented they would prefer an Iranian drone a thousand times over having to use mobile data with 200 ping. Amidst rubble and alarms, Sergeant Martínez asked if the attack included restocking the canteen coffee. War is tough, but slow internet is a massacre.
