19:07Now PlayingThe Iran War is giving the U.S. military a real-world stress test.
Operation Epic Fury showed that American firepower is still overwhelming, with U.S. forces flying more than 10,000 missions and striking more than 13,000 targets. But the campaign also exposed some uncomfortable questions about modern warfare: how long can aircraft carriers stay in the fight, how many expensive interceptors can the U.S. afford to fire, and are U.S. bases hardened enough for a missile and drone war?
In this episode, we break down what the war with Iran is showing us about the U.S. military, including the role of aircraft carriers, Patriot and THAAD interceptors, SM-3 and SM-6 missile use, soft bases, hardened shelters, and drones.
