Yes, saw that on Military.com too. link The attackers could have been ISIS or Shia militias armed by Iran. Good to see our Anti-Drone tech works. And again, the war against islamic terrorists/jihadis continues. And yes, they still are a threat. |

Could even have been the Russian's directly or indirectly. Very murky corner of the planet. The Russians have definitely been doing plausibly deniable stuff elsewhere. |

I'm going with ISIS or Shia militia. They have done this before. They are "all the usual suspects". Russia has a full plate at this time. What would they gain by poking the US ? That may just influence the US to send more support to Ukraine, e.g. M1 MBTs. Regardless again, it is good to know our anti-drone system works, anyway. As we know, we will see more drones on today's battlefield. |
