1 Not buying the "reporting" IF wikipedia is correct, the AN/FPS - 132 is only based in 5 places, 3 in the US, 1 in Canada, 1 in Great Britain. They are meant to track ICBM's from China or Russia coming over the polar regions.

Also a quick search shows a number of stories saying the reports of the destruction of an AN/FPS -132 being destroyed are fake news.

2 The magazines are empty. The eyes are gone. And somewhere in Tehran, someone is now deciding where the missiles go next.

How dramatic. Definitely merits some clicks.

3 Our satellite technology is light years ahead of what they disclose. Full Spectrum Synergy.

What I have seen suggests we record everything. With a time stamp and coordinates, we can play back past events in a virtual reality 3D environment that synergizes Observable, SIGNIT & ELINT signals.

4 Two more AN/TPY-2 THAAD radars confirmed destroyed — one near Abu Dhabi, one at Jordan’s Muwafaq Salti airbase. Added to the AN/FPS-132 at Al Udeid. Total radar losses now exceed $3.4 billion. Before a single launchpad or support structure is counted.

Maybe they'll have to come up with their own defense, or eat dirt.

5 It is kinda interesting that the Chinese are releasing satellite photos of damage to US installations but not Israeli installations.

6 There are some inexpensive drone killer rifles.

Possibly some issue prevented the distribution to Abu Dhabi, Qatar, etc.
