A drone strike on a US base in northern Iraq
Iraqi media reported this morning (Saturday) that a US military base at Balad Air Base (Salah al-Din Province, northern Iraq) had been targeted.
The Saberin News Telegram Channel reported that sirens had been sounded at the US base, and that the base had been attacked by several UAVs.
Saberin News reported moments later that after the attack on the US military base in Balad base, a fire broke out in the fire base and smoke rose into the sky.
The news site added that the American part of the base was closed and the forces were on standby.
Saberin News added that after the attack, the forces stationed at the base were warned through loudspeakers in English, while it was previously claimed that no foreign or American forces were stationed at the base.



The western sources claimed that the attack was foiled by Iraqi airforce.

Iran drone?
You think from where they get rotax engines? Europe would never sell them to an Iraqi group.

Iraqi Hezbollah is One of the strongest forces in the region. They are equipped with MRAPs, T-72 tanks, rifles, MANPADs, medium range airdefense systems, artillery rockets and Iranian made personnel carrying vehicles as well as small number of Iranian supplied IFVs.

I mention this one separately because of its huge number in the hands of Iraqis, they have a large drone fleet from reconnaissance drones to bombing ones. They have the precision strike Qaem bombs recently handed over to them.

They can make Iraq a hell for Americans, the reason why they conduct warning operations is because of implementation of Iraqi parliament resolution which Kadhimi government has to obey and Ask Americans leave Iraq ASAP.

Iraqi security forces have shot down three drones over the Balad air base north of Baghdad, where US forces were formerly present.

Iraqi forces stopped a drone attack on the Balad air base north of Baghdad early on Saturday, the Iraqi Security Media Cell announced in a statement.
Three drones got close to the southern perimeter of the Balad air base in Salaheddin province early this morning," the statement said.

"They were spotted with the naked eye by forces tasked with protecting the southern towers and it was established that they were enemy aircraft. The forces then opened fire on the planes, which fled," it added.

US forces used to be present at Balad air Base but withdrew in the middle of last year.
