NSA (Naval support) Bahrain lost a ground station (maybe two), not a radar.

The contract to rebuild it will mean huge profits too. The circle of life (MIC).

Possibly. There are a lot of things around that story that seem very off

Aside from the obvious bad AI images floating around the one credible looking video shows a shaheed flying into a radome. A Radome in the middle of a bunch of buildings. You don't put radars in between buildings. And if it's a phased array I don't think it would be in a round Radome either.

They seem to have hit something of value, but don't think it was a 1bn radar

Everything around this smells like the Iran hilariously oversized F35 misinformation

The only footage I've seen is damage to maybe a satellite receiver. Have you seen proof of the radar damage

Not helpful, this is an AI generated post.

We do have actual video of that one radome in Bahrain getting directly struck (from multiple angles). It's possible it was a satellite communication antenna and not a radar.

But the still images shown with before/after are AI generated. (the surrounding buildings are completely different in the before/after image).

The radar that is likely to have been damaged is the one in Qatar, here is reporting from an NPR editor using Planet satellite imagery: https://nitter.net/gbrumfiel/status/2028227786750476627
