The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it struck 85 US military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones in an initial response to to American aggression against Iranian territory.
The IRGC, in a statement issued Wednesday, said the strikes hit facilities at Port Salman, the US Fifth Fleet’s area in Bahrain, and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. It also announced the downing of an MQ-9 drone, saying the aircraft attempted to interfere with the operation before it was shot down.
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohammadi said that the drone was shot down over the southern province of Bushehr following overnight US airstrikes.
“Following the aerial aggression by the terrorist US military in the early hours of today, an MQ-9 drone was hit and brought down by fire from the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ air defense system over the skies of Khormuj in Bushehr province,” he said Wednesday.
what do you call it when the IRGC strikes 85 US military targets?
idk what do you call it?
a good start
Iran is probably the only country on earth with the opportunity and capability to shoot one down and the ability to benefit from reverse engineering the whole thing.
Ansarallah dropped like a dozen of these bad boys
Extremely cool of them, but they were/are not yet in a position to reverse engineer the tech to the benefit of their own manufacturing.
I’m just waiting for them to tip their hand that they’ve been able to track and target B-2s this whole time, but on the other hand, maybe not because the next step up from stealth bombers is submarine-launched nukes
