CNN: Radar bases housing key US missile interceptor hit in Jordan and UAE, satellite images show​


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 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.

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 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. The US operates eight THAAD batteries, while the UAE operates two and Saudi Arabia one. This one was at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, over 500 miles from Iran.

The radar system for THAADs is the AN/TPY-2 transportable radar, manufactured by Raytheon. According to a 2025 Missile Defense Agency budget, it costs just shy of half-a-billion dollars.

The image shows a pair of 13-foot craters in the sand near the radar, suggesting that it may have taken multiple attempts to hit the system, which is split across five 40-foot trailers. All appeared to be destroyed or seriously damaged.

It may not be the only THAAD radar struck in the opening days of the war with Iran.

At least three buildings at a military installation near Ruwais, and four at an installation in Sader, both in the UAE, were damaged between February 28 and March 1. Pull-through vehicle sheds used to store radar systems for THAAD batteries at both sites were among the buildings struck.

N.R. Jenzen-Jones, a munitions specialist and director of the research company Armament Research Services (ARES), told CNN the radar cannot be easily replaced and called it a significant loss.

“The AN-TPY/2 radar is essentially the heart of the THAAD battery, enabling the launch of interceptor missiles and contributing to a networked air defense picture,” he said. “It also happens to be an incredibly expensive piece of kit. The loss of even a single radar of this type would be an operationally significant event. It is probable that a replacement unit would have to be redeployed from elsewhere, which will take time and effort.”

There is definitely something off with early radar.

Israel will give early warning but Iranian missiles hit 1-2 mins later. Before, the standard was consistently 5-7 minutes or so.

Worse, hes an unqualified idiot that has no respect from his generals, and is hated by his own military.

He's a frat boy who never grew up, and things call of duty is the same as real life.

Doesn’t matter if Iran only fires 3-4 missiles a day at Israel.

Iran worked to deactivate and saturate defense systems adversaries to increase the percentage of drone and missile strikes. Whereas before it would have to launch 100 to get 20 down, now it launches 5 and gets 4 down. In this way, it can wage a war for 20 years, solely through this strategy of war attrition.
 
Seems like US and allies are practicing censorship to stabilize stock markets.

That is manipulation that can lead to more escalation. Iran will likely want to stretch this conflict out or will eventually just target critical infrastructure in region if US government keeps manipulating stock market to make it appear that costs for war on Iran are low.

Everyone else in the world the markets are reacting to the reality of situation.

It's also delusional and sign we are shifting away from democracy into a theocracy. US government is losing all credibility to appease the Jewish extremist government in Israel.

Why would they build fordow only 50-60m underground, if the missile cities are 100-500m deep?

Fordow is a very old facility and back then they thought it was sufficient

Iran's newer sites in Esfahan (up to 200m, possibly much more if they dig further) and Mount Kolang Gaz La (up to 120m) are significantly deeper.
 
There is no vidro of khoromshaer 4 pounding zionist. I want to see one if anyone comes across

For me the worst part was when he dressed down the senior most men in the US military like they were a bunch of failing school children. Way to kill morale in your own armed forces.
