WNU Editor: There are only three pictures but they show extensive damage at this Iraqi base. I am sure more pictures are going to be posted in the coming days.

Thanks for the link Car
Shows that it could have be considerably worse.
What a small ineffectual attack, 17 hits!. In a true war scenario it would seem perhaps 30 to 40 hits would be required to temporarily take the base out of commission.
Any conflict with Irans reliance on missiles will be a war of attrition against their limited stocks that they can't win.
