Iran has hit 12 US and allied radar and SATCOM terminals since the start of the war, according to data compiled by Anadolu.

Kuwait International Airport's newest radar system was among those targeted, as three "hostile drones" damaged it on Sunday, according to Kuwaiti authorities. The full extent of the damage remains unknown.

A day earlier, an Iranian drone struck a US Saab Giraffe 1X radar system at the US Embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq. The radar provided Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) and Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) in a 75-kilometer radius and is estimated to be worth $2 million.

While the extent of the damage is unclear, satellite imagery analyzed by multiple outlets confirms that four AN/TPY-2 radars have been hit in Al Sader and Al Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates, Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan, and Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia. AN/TPY-2 radar components belonging to THAAD missile defense systems are valued at an estimated $2 billion.

A US AN/FPS-132 early warning radar at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, valued at $1.1 billion, was struck by an Iranian missile when retaliatory attacks began on Feb. 28. Qatari authorities confirmed that the radar was damaged.

Iran also struck the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama, Bahrain, destroying two satellite communications terminals and several large buildings.

Open-source intelligence reports have identified the targeted communication terminals as AN/GSC-52Bs, with an estimated cost of $20 million, factoring in deployment and installation.

In addition to the terminals lost in Bahrain, satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times of Camp Arifjan in Kuwait showed three destroyed radomes, adding roughly $30 million in damage.

In total, 12 radar systems or SATCOM terminals, valued at an estimated $3.152 billion, have been hit by Iranian strikes.
