HwSpring Posted January 24 Posted January 24 nullThere are also two bunkers - or at least they look like standard Iraqi trapezoid bunkers. Attached Image is circa 2002 - No blocks of flats present to East, Southeast. 4
hitotose Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 (edited) @HwSpring Did you realized this building? It appears on the Picture from the 1991, but it doens't appear on the 2025. This place has been replaced by a vacant lot with signs of demolition. Edited January 24 by hitotose 3
HwSpring Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Yes - I have noticed. This is why I am mostly using Google Earth Pro set to year 2002 (for Baghdad as other locations in Iraq are often not available as far back) Here is same location in 2002: null They started demolishing this building in May 2018: 2
HwSpring Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Additionally in 1991 - there should be whole airbase immediately to the north - Muthenna Airbase - it was however totally destroyed during Desert Storm and Iraq decided to get rid of it. You can still see where the runway was in 2002 but that's about it. In our DCS map it is empty space with the new block of flats build recently. Not sure if ED will be able ever recreate the base - I couldn't find any aerial photos of it anywhere unfortunately. 2
