BREAKING: US Warplanes Leave UAE Air Base After Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at US Forces in Iraq

More than six US Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighter jets left Al-Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates at around 2 am Wednesday, according to multiple sources, possibly heading to respond to Tuesday night’s Iranian attack on American targets in Iraq.

The warplanes left the UAE just about two minutes after the Ain Al-Asad Air Base came under rocket and missile fire from Iran, and from a local Iranian proxy militia in Iraq.

…

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Forces (IRGC), fired at least 12 Fateh-110 ballistic missiles from Iran at various sites where American forces are located, including many which were aimed at Ain Al-Asad.

The Kataib Hezbollah militia, which is the 45th Brigade of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Unit (PMU) and an Iranian proxy group, fired at least 40 Katyusha rockets at the base as well.

Fateh-110 ballistic missiles

"According to Jane's, China assisted Iran with the technology to produce the solid-propellant unguided Mushak-120 (also referred to as the Iran-130 or the Nazeat 10), with a range of 130 km and a weight of 500 kg. A longer range version, the Mushak-160 with a range of 160 km, and a weight of 500 kg, was also been produced indigenously. A 200 km range Mushak-200 (also possibly referred to asZelzal) was reported to be in development, presumably with Chinese assistance. These missiles were apparently based on the 150 km range CSS-8 missile (a surface-to-surface derivative of the SA-2 surface-to-air missile) obtained from China.

The Fateh-110 (Victorious-110; also known as the NP-110) is a solid propellant surface to surface missile, with a reported range of about 170 kilometers. The program to develop this missile, which had a reported diameter of about 0.45 meters, apparently began around 1997."
