This is a bunker that the USAF C-130's use at Ali AlSalem AB, Kuwait (click on the picture for a better view). It was originally built and used by the Kuwait Air Force, but was taken over by Iraq forces in the Gulf War. The damage you see is from a 500 lb bomb dropped by the USAF on the Iraq forces during the Gulf War. Funny after all these years we know occupy a bunker that was damaged by our own Air Force. We learned a lot from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, we no longer bomb the runways or bunkers because we eventually take over the airfields and have to repair our own damage before we can use them again.
