Possibly to fly in to view bomb testing (notice what look like u-shaped bunkers)

Looks like abandoned and used as a training target for bombing runs (note craters N-E)

  • My best guess is that it's a simulated strike target for use during Red Flag Exercises.
  • Not a single bomb crater. I think this is for unmanned drone training
  • Pfffft...It's a visual reference for targeting exercises.
