The BBC says it was still able to carry out its analysis by using "satellite imagery from other international providers combined with older images from Planet to track the damage caused by Iranian attacks." Pentagon officials declined to respond to the findings, for "operational security reasons."
The broadcaster lists "three state-of-the-art anti-ballistic missile batteries systems" in Jordan and the UAE among the U.S. assets that Iran has targeted over the past several months.
"The U.S. is only known to operate eight of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries, which are deployed at bases around the globe and cost around $1bn to manufacture," the BBC writes. "Each battery needs a crew of about 100 troops to operate it while the interceptors it fires cost around $12.7 million per round."
