U.S. Launches New Airstrikes On Targets Tied To Iran In Eastern Syria

 

DNYUZ/New York Times: U.S. Carries Out Another Round of Airstrikes on Targets Tied to Iran 

The United States conducted airstrikes against two facilities used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its proxies in eastern Syria late Sunday , Pentagon officials said, in the latest retaliation for what has become a daily barrage of rocket and drone attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria. 

Air Force F-15E fighter jets struck several buildings in Abu Kamal used for training and storing munitions, and a safe house in Mayadin used as a command headquarters. 

The strikes came just four days after American warplanes hit a munitions warehouse in eastern Syria. Pentagon officials say the two latest sets of strikes, as well as one on Oct. 27, were meant to deter Iran and the militias it supports in Syria and Iraq, which the Biden administration has blamed for the attacks.

Looks like the US is has learned something from the Russians, using the Russian stand off tactics and not getting close to the enemy airspace and take the chance of getting shot down..

So are the US pilots all cowards too? Or being just being smart like the Russians and not letting a multi million dollar aircraft get shot down by a 10-100 thousand dollar missile?

jackasses.

"Garden sheds , beach cabanas, gazebo"

"how many 'storage' facilities can the us hit everyday? lol"

What I and many other people want is a body count. We want a body count of enemy fighters. We want a leader dead count. We want equipment destruction that it take 5 to 10 years to replace. Hitting a few brick buildings ius bullshit.

The enemy is to be hit relentlessly until they scream "No más".

Then we hit them so more to make sure they mean it.

When you talk of a proportionate response, a measure response that can be ratcheted up, you know that there is pasty, white asshole with offices safely tucked away in in Washington DC spouting the nonsense
