Iraqi Hardened Aircraft Shelters

Below you can see the structure of the Jugoslavian made hardened aircraft shelter (HAS) that the Iraqis had during the 1991 Gulf war. These were the strongest shelters with more than 3 m (10 feet) of reinforced concrete and sand.

It took two laser guided bombs through the same hole to destroy one of these shelters.
