The greatest kinetic threat is from drone swarm attacks, which can be delivered to the vicinity of an airbase from a handful of anonymous-looking trucks or vans.

One or two grenade-strength shrapnel devices are enough to make a $700m dollar special project useless.

How does a truck drive to Diego Garcia?

There is a major shipping lane that runs SE of Diego Garcia.

You could try a surprise drone attack from a container ship. Looks like the closest ship is about 125 miles away, that might be pushing the range a bit.
