i'm kinda doubtful of the "no deaths" report

and if there really were no deaths then that shows tremendous restraint by iran

Al Asad is 12 square miles, it's mostly tarmac and dirt. It's not unthinkable to fire a dozen missiles at it and not kill anyone, especially if you've got precision weapons and can specifically target the unoccupied parts

I don’t think Iran’s primary objective is personnel death, it’s probably some combination of show of force and damaging facilities/equipment.

The shape of Iran's involvement with the Houthi missile brigades is, Iran sends them experts and engineers to show them how to make missiles, and then the Houthis have been building their own downscaled versions of Iranian weapons with the materials they have available. Lots of cheap parts from the EU meant for civilian aeronautics, that sort of stuff.

Iran’s an expert in downscaling full military tech to insurgent use, why expend delicate resources smuggling rpg-7s in to your dudes when you can just teach them how to make explosively formed penetrators out of machinist resources and maybe some scrap

I don't think the idea of targeting airfields is to take them out permanently, but to demonstrate that they can whenever they need to. For instance, if they decide to remove US air superiority immediately before a coordinated strike. It's meant to be a show of force.

That, and the US Way of War has gotten lazy since the Cold War. We’re so used to positioning at giant, fixed bases with movie theatres, xbox and Tim Hortons, building up forces without being interdicted, casually air transporting in whole units, casualties MEDEVAC to the Role 3 within an hour, and flown to Germany after that.

Hitting airfields means heavy units get their tanks shipped from Germany at best, stateside more likely, no gucci base to play ball hockey at, the return of casualty collection points and battalion aid stations.

I can’t imagine living the grunt life without Monster and Copenhagen within arm’s reach.

Then again, it is a 737. A more fruitful conspiracy theory might be why the hell they tried to fly one of those deathtraps on this night of all nights.

Obviously it didn't pay off this time, but I'd still take my chances in a 737 rather than remaining in Iran atm.
