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.
