Satellite images published by The Washington Post show that Iranian attacks on US bases were more devastating than officially reported. A total of 228 military structures or pieces of equipment were damaged, including hangars, barracks, fuel depots, and defense systems such as Patriot and THAAD radars.
Satellite technology exposes the gap between official reports and actual damage 🛰️
The analysis of high-resolution images allowed for the identification of precise impacts on strategic assets such as aircraft and anti-missile systems. Earth observation technology, combined with open-source intelligence, contradicts Washington's initial statements, which downplayed casualties and material losses. This case highlights how civilian satellite monitoring can independently verify armed conflicts.
Washington's war report: everything fine, just a few scratches 😅
While the Pentagon assured that the damage was superficial, satellites showed hangars turned into sieves and radars shattered into pieces. It seems the military public relations manual has a section called: If you don't see it, it didn't happen. Luckily, satellites don't read official statements and capture even the dust kicked up.
