That loss, if confirmed, could be problematic. If memory serves me correctly, it would have been part of both SPPARS (BMEWS successor system) and the Space Surveillance Network.

Around 18:35 Landsat is gonna go over the region so around 18:40 we can see on FIRMS if something happend

Nothing just like when they first reported it

So. . .was it hit or not? That picture doesn't seem to show a radar nor does it look like anything was hit.

Note what they say was hit and what they show was hit:

It does thats the giant grey sphere you can see on the white building (we also know its coordinates giving its an building...)

That seems to be an hit in Bahrain (the same place as the satcom). Which alone should tell enough because you don't put sutch an giant radar in a City...

Help me out here. Which "giant grey sphere" are you referring to? At the scale on the image, the radar (or its rubble) would take up a significant portion of the image.

The circled part is the radar (well one) aperture of it (tho we can also see parts of the others but its impossible to see anything there).

At the same time we cannot See any visible damage to any sourounding building of the Installation (marked with blue arrows).

 

[Sferrin]

Yes, I could see the radar in the model, and one of the faces in your picture. What I couldn't see was a, "giant grey sphere" or any evidence of damage.

What i meant with the "giant grey sphere" was the aperture

When you said "sphere" I thought you meant dome.

The issue here is the claim and the posted video do not refer to the same location.
The video shows a hit and destruction of the inflateable dome within the US Navy's 5th Fleet Headquarters In Bahrain

Yes, that's what I pointed out in post #5.
