Photos obtained by CBS News reveal for the first time the extensive damage and destruction to buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. military bases in the Middle East from Iranian missile and drone attacks. The images were sent anonymously by active-duty U.S. service members. One deployed service member said: "Our base suffered significant damage, but the American public has no idea. We're just standing there with our eyes closed, watching it all happen." One photo taken at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia shows the rear section of a four-engine Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft directly hit, with the tail separated from the charred fuselage, which still carries a rotating radar dome that is critical for collecting airborne intelligence. Other photos taken at the base show destroyed buildings and barracks, with their wreckage standing next to unaffected concrete "T-wall" structures. These T-walls were once considered key defensive fortifications against grenade and mortar attacks, but proved completely ineffective against airstrikes. Equally devastating scenes were captured at Camp Buehring in Kuwait.
