Several US Warplanes Damaged In This Week's Iranian Attack On Base In Jordan: Report

The Iranian ballistic missile attack on an American base in Jordan this week ranks as one of the single biggest missile volleys sent over Jordan since the start of the US-led war.

The Tuesday night into Wednesday attack targeted Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, multiple international reports say. Widely shared but unconfirmed social media videos appeared to show several direct impacts on the base. But at least some of the images have been authenticated by outlets like Dropsite News.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) sought to downplay the attack, saying initially that all troops were account for, but not immediately divulging whether casualties resulted. 

Since then, the Pentagon has said that no deaths resulted from the strikes on Jordan, during which time over 30 Patriot missiles were deployed as an aerial defensive measure.

While the Pentagon has remained mum on specifics, officials have acknowledged light material damage at the base.

New reporting from CBS says that several US military aircraft were damaged in the attack, based on anonymous defense officials, with at least one warplane being knocked out of commission:

Multiple American military aircraft were damaged in Iranian strikes overnight Tuesday into Wednesday local time on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, people with direct knowledge of the matter told CBS News. 

One A-10 Thunderbolt, an attack aircraft known as the Warthog, was struck and lost a wing, the sources said. 

Roughly eight F-15s sustained light damage and were reportedly put back into service, according to the people familiar with the damage, who spoke to CBS News under the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

If the report is accurate, this means that clearly a number of missiles got through the dozens of Patriots launched to intercept. In summary...

• Around eight F-15s reportedly suffered damage, while an A-10 Warthog was struck and lost a wing
• US forces fired more than 30 Patriot missiles during the attack, costing over $126 million

Unconfirmed video: "The US Army is transferring Black Hawk helicopters from the American Muwaqqaf Al-Salti base in Jordan, including damaged helicopters."

Dozens of expensive aircraft, including large refuelers, have been destroyed by Iran's 'retaliation' throughout Operation Epic Fury as part of its 'debasifaction' campaign.

This has led to a broad retreat of US forces from 'frontline' Gulf bases, which may actually never be fully reconstituted again, or even rebuilt.
