The American base that was targeted by Iran 159 times Al-Dafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, which hosts an array of detection, communication and support equipment, is considered one of the nodes of the air operations network of the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf; A base that was targeted 159 times during the imposed Ramadan war. The equipment located at this base connected the rings of identification, information transmission, command and support of air operations; A group that can be referred to as the "eyes, brains and arms of air operations". The information received from the radars and patrol birds of this base was combined to create a common picture of the situation in the area and will be transmitted to the Al-Adid Air Operations Center. Communication centers and receiving satellite data were also the link for transmitting this information to the commanders and the operational units. In the operational sector, the air delivery wing managed 380 missions related to patrol planes, fighter planes, refueling and air support. Large fuel tanks and aircraft maintenance facilities were also considered as support for continuing these missions. The presence of American, UAE and French forces also gave Aldfra a multinational status and made it one of the connecting points of the air power of these countries in the region. The variety of these goals shows that, in addition to aircraft, the necessary infrastructure for detection and identification, data transfer, command and continuity of operations were also considered. Of course, the focus of each of these facilities alone does not indicate the amount of damage or its departure from the operational cycle. The operational implication highlighted in this narrative is the transformation of al-Dafra from an obstacle to supporting the operation to a point exposed to frequent attacks; A situation that forces the United States to spend part of its strength and resources in protecting the base, dispersing equipment and maintaining communication between the network components.
