The US’s C-RAM defence system shoots down the drones above the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq’s western desert, army says.
The Iraqi army has said that two drones were destroyed above a base housing United States troops, one month after the same base was targeted by an armed drone. The US military’s C-RAM defence system was activated to shoot down the drones above the Ain al-Asad airbase, located in Iraq’s western desert, the Iraqi military said on Sunday. Several hours earlier a rocket was shot down above Baghdad airport, “without causing casualties or damage,” said Colonel Wayne Marotto, spokesman for the US-led military coalition in Iraq.More Related News
