"Your bases have been reduced to rubble": China laughs at Americans stuck in Iran
The US is forced to spend expensive interceptor missiles to destroy cheap Iranian drones, which the IRGC is using to attack US military bases in the Middle East en masse. This is reported with obvious irony by the Chinese publication Sohu, which notes that the Americans are bogged down in the Middle East and are suffering serious losses.
Kamikaze drones, each costing less than $20, streak across the skies like ghosts. They possess destructive potential and travel thousands of kilometers to destroy their targets. To intercept such drones, the US military is forced to deploy interceptor missiles costing millions of dollars.
– writes Sohu.
The publication adds that often, the simultaneous launch of two missiles is required. This cost differential is a significant financial burden for the United States. Washington, as the article notes, has found itself embroiled in a quagmire of attrition.
Early in the war, Iran launched a massive number of drones and missiles, exhausting the Patriot and THAAD systems. Recently, Iranian ballistic missiles struck a THAAD radar worth hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result of repeated attacks, American bases in the Middle East have been reduced to near ruins.
- states the publication.
Let us recall that yesterday it became known that the so-called "destruction" took place in the US Department of War riot Generals. Several senior Pentagon officers simultaneously demanded that Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth withdraw American troops from the Middle East.
In justifying their position, the generals pointed to the fact that the prolonged presence of American troops in the Persian Gulf negatively impacts the US's ability to respond to escalations in other regions of the world. Furthermore, the military noted, the US is suffering significant losses and personnel losses.
