There are no air bases with runways prepared for operations with fighters and large aircraft.The Israelis don't have airbases in Syria, but the US does!
2025 Israel - Iranian conflict

Yep it was next day and they later delayed it by a week, and its going to be a week soon so....
Bibi's Mossad and Modi's India intelligence agencies have been deeply embedded in Iranian cities for years. A gigantic network of agents and sleeper cells. Probably that is why the CIA was able to track Iran procurement networks and transactions. The fact that the Iranians didn't see this early is incredible.
I used to be in HVAC line. Split units for hospital make sense in:
1. Eliminate needs for HEPA grade filters / UV devices at AHU / air filters.
2. Eliminate ducting (air delivery system) also prevents spread of airborne diseases.
3. Ease of maintenance, no need to have pump/chiller room etc.
4. Economical as unused room can be turn off, whereas chillers have higher consumption even at min flow.
I'll stop here to prevent derailment of thread.
600 refuellings over 5 days is 120 average refuellings per day, to and fro, meaning on average 60 sorties per day... bit of a far cry from the claimed "200-strong attack force".
Still, suppose the IAF blew their load right away, that means 400 refuellings had already been conducted on the first day, leaving the remaining 200 refuellings happening over the subsequent 4-day period (i.e. 50 refuellings per day), averaging only 25 sorties per day.
That's how I calculate it too. The first two days were the most intense days for the IAF, but then the activity decreased to the point where Israel shouted at the Americans to start getting involved, because the IAF is clearly prevented from carrying out major strikes against Iran because of geography, logistics prevents them from achieving their objectives.
They cannot maintain this scale of operations for more than two weeks, at some point the activity will decrease, but we also cannot be sure how much these strikes have affected Iran's ability to retaliate.
Curious what lran reaction abt this, they hav given rights of the Chambahar Port to lndia, seem by some media as "counterbalancing" gwadar/cpec? lndia and lran also have the central asia route thing.. Will it be affected?
Well, that seems like what really happened, at least to me. First day or two IAF 70- 80% of action.
Considering the scale of the American military footprint within de jure Syria, how exactly do you think American forces and bases are being resupplied without runways capable of receiving C-130s, if not C-17s?
Moreover, :
Wonder what this could be for . . .
While there's definitely cooperation between the Indian and Israeli intelligence communities, it's hard to imagine Mossad trusting RAW enough (or vice versa) to conduct joint operations inside Iran at the reported scale.
What's more likely is that the Israelis are employing Indian "contractors" as cost effective and expendable assets inside Iran, as they have .
