UAV event in al-Anbar, Ain al-Asad area, Iraq on Thu 9th November 2023
9th November 2023
The Iranians hit US bases with kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles. The attack by Iraqi militias with an Iranian Fath/BM-120 ballistic missile launched from a converted civilian truck stands out.
It appears that the Iranians have developed something similar to the Russian Club-K missile system.
In total, two US bases in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, the Al-Harir Air Base in Northern Iraq were hit, while the US Ain al-Asad Air Base west of Baghdad was hit 3 times, as well as an American patrol with an IED in Mosul.
The Americans report some wounded but no dead. American sources, however, speak of “losses” which are not made public in an effort not to escalate the situation further.
For this reason there is a lot of grumbling against T.Biden.A US defense official revealed that there have been 46 (!) attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria since 10/17. The 4 happened today after the F-15 raids.What was the US reaction? He is still missing. As it was not yesterday after the downing of the MQ-9 “Reaper” by the Houthis.
