“American military bases and other equipment in the Persian Gulf region suffered extensive damage from Iranian strikes that is far worse than publicly acknowledged and is expected to cost billions of dollars to repair, according to three U.S. officials, two congressional aides and another person familiar with the damage,” the outlet stated.
NBC cited six government sources, three U.S. officials, two congressional aides and another person familiar with the damage, who revealed that repairs of U.S. equipment damaged in the Iran war will cost billions of dollars.
“Warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems and dozens of aircraft,” were hit in Iranian strikes just after the Trump administration attacked Iran on Feb. 28, according to the report.
One specific incident was when an Iranian F-5 fighter jet bombed a U.S. base in Kuwait, successfully hitting the target despite strong air defense.
The strike was the first time an enemy fixed-wing aircraft struck an American military base in several years.
