At the same time, this news agency wrote that the American and Qatari armies did not respond to requests for comment on this damage.
In the midst of the 12-day war imposed by the Zionist regime and on June 23, in the “Bashart Fatah” operation, in response to the American air attack on three nuclear facilities, Iran carried out missile attacks on Al-Udeid Air Base outside Doha.
According to the Associated Press, satellite images released by Planet Labs PBC show this geodesic dome at Al-Udeid Air Base on the morning of June 23, just a few hours before the Iranian attack.
The 379th Air Expeditionary Wing of the US Air Force, which operates at this base, announced the installation of this $15 million piece of equipment in 2016. The photos show a satellite dish inside the dome, known as the radome.
However, images taken on June 25 and every day thereafter show that the dome is gone and some damage is visible on the adjacent building. However, according to the report of this news agency, other parts of the base appear to be largely intact in the images.
