Exclusive satellite images obtained by Umbra Space reveal that an Israeli military strike on an Iranian air base has not caused extensive damage. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images taken at 10:18 a.m. local time show no large craters in the ground or destroyed buildings at the targeted site.
SAR images, unlike traditional satellite images, are created using radar beams that can penetrate clouds, allowing for imaging even in adverse weather conditions. These radar beams bounce off objects on the ground and provide detailed information about the area.
According to sources, the Isfahan province military base was one of the possible targets of the attack. However, the only visible damage reported so far is broken windows on some office buildings within the complex.
Furthermore, the satellite images indicate that the Iranian F-14 Tomcats, which were previously stationed at the air base, are currently absent. Archival satellite imagery confirms that these aircraft have been missing from the base for some time.
While the SAR images do not show burn scars, which are typically visible in visual satellite imagery, further analysis will be required to assess any additional impact of the reported military strike.
