I want to know what kind of terrorists have tanks and helicopters.
The kind in the military, of course. Or the kind that can knock over a national guard depot.
Assuming a force could get anywhere near the base, I could see this scenario playing out one of two ways:
1) Early field testing for the US military. Our jihadi strike force gets to see the business end of all of the toys we've been hiding in the Nevada
desert.
2) False front - turns out, all the base isn't really all that defended at all. Assuming our fictitious jihadis are just making a surgical strike for
a piece of gear or something (since you can't really terrorize something that doesn't exist, and there's ZERO chance they could actually hold the
base), the escaping force now has to face everything Nellis can throw at them (with forces from CA, AZ, UT coming in soon after).
Either way, bad day to be a terrorist...
