April 7 at 1:40 UTC (4:40 local time), the United States launched a missile attack on air base al-Sirat . The attack was carried out in response to the chemical attack that took place on 4 April in the city of Khan Sheikhoun that resulted in large civilian casualties, the responsibility for which, without any international investigation, it was hastily imposed on the government forces of Syria. A missile attack was caused by two destroyers of the U.S. Navy: USS Ross (DDG-71) and USS Porter (DDG-78) from the Mediterranean sea, 60-d missiles “Tomahawk”(press release of the Pentagon ).
The attack generated a large number of various arguments and statements concerning its effectiveness and efficiency, this article is an attempt to summarize the available photos, videos, satellite images, attach them to the map, to assess the damage to infrastructure, to count the number of destroyed aircraft and the flow rate CU.
General view of AB El-Sirat, the numbering of IBU (concrete shelter) goes clockwise starting from the North-Eastern part of the base:
IBU with 1-2 15-16 General appearance:
A satellite image of the General view after the impact, JBU with 3-4 15-16:
IBU, No. 1-2 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.488861&lon=36.923093&z=18&m=b:
The surviving MiG 23 in the arched shelter No. 1:
Destroyed 1 arched cover,1 MiG 23, one 1 MiG 23 survived, the consumption of 1 CU Tomahawk.
IBU, No. 3-4 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.487267&lon=36.925778&z=18&m=b:
Destroyed: 2 arched cover, 2 MiG 23, flow 2 CU Tomahawk.
IBU, No. 5-6 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.486058&lon=36.927706&z=17&m=b:
Left in the arched shelter No. 6 can be seen the remains, with high probability, the remains of LA, MiG 23.
Destroyed: 2 arched cover, LA may 1, MiG 23, flow 2 CU Tomahawk.
Panoramas on JBU No. 7-8, No. 11-12
(JBU No. 7-8 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.482518&lon=36.925172&z=18&m=b
No. 9-10 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.481068&lon=36.925961&z=18&m=b
No. 11-12 http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.480343&lon=36.924105&z=18&m=b)
Strong approximation, so the resolution is very bad, but on screen it is possible to distinguish between intact, IBU 7-8 (in recent times at this shelter for some reason, it was demolished right, the 8th arched shelter)
( the picture is from 2017. 02.18)
IBU, No. 9-10 is seen burning in the right, the 10th arched shelter, but most likely affected the left and the 9th.
IBU, No. 11-12 impressed by both the arched cover, some visible remains of both caponiers, most likely LA,MiG 23.
These estimates correlate well with common satellite imagery after stroke:
(Red circles marked hypothetical places the arrival of the CD)
Destroyed: 3-4 arched shelter, are visible the remains of a 2-caponiers may LA, 2 MiG 23, consumption 3-4 CU Tomahawk.
View of JBU No. 13-14 (http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.482222&lon=36.922624&z=18&m=b) No. 15-16 ( http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=34.483557&lon=36.921803&z=18&m=b ):
EBU 13-14 – there is a burning of the 13th, left the arched shelter, right 14th seems intact, but the satellite picture shows his defeat, may not have been break-through, estimate according to the available photo is not possible.
IBU, 15-16, left, 15, of arch cover are intact, no signs of burning and damage, right, 16, amazed.
(Red circles marked hypothetical places the arrival of the CD)
Destroyed: 2-3 arched shelters, consumption of 3 CU Tomahawk.
