全美乃至全世界最權威最知名的媒體之一的紐約時報（NY Times），最近發表了一篇讓人瞠目結舌的文章，而且有圖（衛星照片）有真相（美軍戰損細節）。

在戰爭期間，居然敢發表如此暴露“軍事機密”的文章，膽兒夠肥啊。

不得不說，只有咱四權分立的美麗國（媒體是第四權），才能做得到。

廢話少說切入正題，文章的要點如下：

US military bases in Gulf exposed as toothless — Here's why

Many of the 13 US military bases in the Gulf region are “all but uninhabitable,” the New York Times reported on March 25.

US military bases have failed to defend themselves

Satellite images released on March 31 by Pentagon-linked Planet Labs PBC after a two-week delay showed:

---major destruction at the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain

---destruction at the forward headquarters of US Central Command at Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base

---damage to US assets at Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air Base

--- wrecked hangars at the UAE's Al Dhafra Air Base

The CSIS think tank and the BBC estimate $800 million in damage to US bases in the first two weeks of the war, which appears inconsistent with earlier reports of losses including:

---a AN/FPS-132 radar (roughly $1.1 billion)

---two AN/GSC-52B satellite terminals and radar domes (roughly $50 million)

---two AN/TPY-2 radars (around $1 billion)

The Pentagon has not issued an official estimate of losses so far

Fifth Fleet headquarters in tatters

---Planet Labs imagery from March 1 shows a major building destroyed at the base, along with two radar radomes, the Washington Post reports

---A March 6 image later showed additional structural damage

---The US Navy has not released a detailed damage assessment, while Iran has repeatedly stated it has attacked the site

---Incoming strikes targeting the base also repeatedly appeared in online footage

Will the US military restore its bases?

---The US-Israeli war with Iran is not over and strikes on US military installations are bound to continue

---Iran has signaled that US bases across the region should be closed; its unstoppable hypersonic missiles can wipe them out at any time

---Rather than providing security, US bases have become focal points for Iranian strikes, raising questions about the future of US & Gulf states’ military cooperation

---While no official damage assessment has been released, reconstruction costs are likely to run into the billions—and are unlikely to be borne by Iran

乖乖隆地咚！二戰以來，還沒有哪個國家能對美國的軍事設施造成這麼大的破壞。

老川天天罵北約是紙老虎，伊朗是紙老虎，俄羅斯是紙老虎..... 沒想到，中東的美軍也是紙老虎。

所以，大家彼此彼此，都是紙老虎。

為了確認信息來源可靠，又去問了一下AI：

Based on reports from early 2026, Iranian retaliatory strikes caused severe damage to US military installations in the Gulf region, rendering many of the 13 key bases "all but uninhabitable".

This damage forced thousands of troops to relocate to temporary sites, such as hotels and offices, to maintain operational capacity in a degraded, remote-work environment.

Key Details of the Situation

Extent of Damage:

Reports suggest at least a dozen sites were rendered unusable or severely compromised following strikes, with estimated damages reaching $800 million in the first two weeks.

Affected Locations:

Major installations, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, were heavily targeted.

Operational Impact:

Troops were forced to work remotely, with some personnel moved as far away as Europe, significantly disrupting the military’s ability to operate from its established, fortified perimeter.

Security Concerns:

The relocation of personnel to civilian locations such as hotels created significant force protection challenges, with accusations that troops were using civilians as "human shields".
