Post-Strike Analysis of al-Asad Airbase, Iraq

January 23, 2020 1 Comment

Satellite Imaging

As of imagery dated 08 Jan 2020, the following observations were made:

Two impact craters were identified within the base perimeter. One was located on a small portion of the southern taxiway and the other was located in the southeast portion of the base near hardened air shelters/bunkers. It is assessed that air operations were not affected as damage to the taxiway was minimal and neither of the runways were struck.

Eight aircraft hangars were destroyed, with an additional two sustaining major damage and two sustaining what appeared to be minor damage. Smoke from a possible destroyed vehicle was observed in the vicinity of hangars located in the eastern portion of the base. While no damage to aircraft was observed, it is possible that aircraft were located within hangars at the time of the strike and sustained damage, as indicated in open source reporting [Ref. 1].

Approximately 50% of a probable barracks was destroyed. It is likely that this is the same building that is referred to in a video and article published by CNN [Ref. 2] based on the visible damage as well as observations of the surrounding area.

Open source reporting indicates that 10 missiles struck al-Asad [Ref. 3]. This number is consistent with the amount of damage observed on imagery but does not to appear to have affected the operational status of the base.

A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude

I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his email drkachispellcast@gmail.com. Also reach him text or call +1 (209) 893-8075.Thank you once again, Dr. Kachi, for making my dreams come true.
