The Americans lost a drone in Iraq: the wreckage became the trophy of the Shiite militia

64

From Iraq, reports have come that the United States has lost its drone in Anbar province. According to the latest information, we are talking about the Boeing ScanEagle 2 UAV.

This drone is used by the American army in Iraq for both air reconnaissance and target designation.



The drone is equipped with an infrared or electro-optical rotating camera and allows you to transmit the coordinates of certain targets in the unit associated with it.

There are conflicting reports about the loss of UAVs by the Americans in Anbar province. Some sources indicate that the drone fell due to a technical malfunction:

He was not attacked from the ground.

Other sources claim that an American unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down by representatives of the Shiite militia of Iraq, Al-Hashd al-Shaabi, who are active in the province, especially after the US Air Force eliminated one of the Shiite police commanders Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.


The reports agree on one thing: the wreckage of the American drone Boeing ScanEagle 2 ended up in the territory controlled by Al-Hashd al-Shaabi. In this regard, it can be assumed that against the background of the well-known events in Iraq, the UAV fragments may be handed over to Iran by representatives of the Shiite militia.

    A great war is coming in the Middle East. Iran is forced to respond to the assassination of Suleimani, and Trump has already promised, in the event of an answer, to hit 52 targets in Iran.
    Now experts make various assumptions, but so far everyone is guessing at the coffee grounds. Americans make it clear that any answer will lead to escalation. This was already stated by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. And here it is clear that Washington is counting on just that. Iran simply cannot fail to respond.
    And the US is already creating a coalition where Israel will definitely be, and the Gulf countries are deploying additional troops to the region. Apparently, Trump, when he gave the order to kill Soleimani, hoped that the airstrike would become a "Sarajevo shot" in the Big East.

      Yesterday the United States already tried to establish "diplomacy" through a Qatar representative with a proposal to "take revenge, but in such a way that the mattresses do not hurt much," which means they fear a full-scale response to their "prank". With 52 targets outlined by Trump, the Iranians are likely to find American targets that would be painful to hit.

                      Israel attacked Hashd al-Shaabi bases
                      According to Arab media reports, the Israeli Air Force last night attacked the pro-Iranian police bases of Khashd al-Shaabi in Suvayah and Hiri, near the Bukamal border crossing on the border of Syria and Iraq.
                      As a result of the attack, several missile launchers were destroyed, which the terrorists intended to deliver to the border to the Golan Heights to carry out attacks against Israel.
                      As a result of the bombing, several militants were killed.
                      Warehouses with medium- and longer-range missiles from another pro-Iranian police, Kataib Hizbullah in Bukamal, were also blown up.
                      Earlier, CNN reported that the US military is talking about signs that Iran is preparing an attack using ballistic missiles. An attack is expected in the coming weeks.
                      Local media claim that Bukamal was attacked by two Israeli F-35 Adir fighter-bombers.

                  Well-fed Middle Eastern dictators happily fought among themselves, without any Americans. And this was especially facilitated by the Soviet Union, which supplied thousands of weapons to Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Libya and other "communists" of the Middle East.

                  The mistake was that by destroying dictatorial regimes, America was unable to create full-fledged democratic institutions in these countries.
                  And the population of the Middle East itself does not yet believe in its own strengths and in its own right to build a free state.

                    Probably the Iran-Iraq conflict did without them? The overthrow of Saddam is not their business? And who in every possible way Saddam got into Kuwait at 91m? The stupidity of Middle Eastern dictators - they love money very much and think like an ass, but this applies to both Turks and African leaders.

      A massive attack is being prepared on US bases in the region, like a strike on the oil fields of Saudi Arabia with a similar effect. They will try to kick the Americans out of Iraq at least. Trump promised in response to hit Iran (52 targets). But what will happen after all this? Here's the question.

      MOSCOW, Jan 5 - RIA News. The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of Iran, Hossein Salami, said that Tehran’s response to the assassination of General Kassem Suleimani will put an end to the US presence in the region.
      "The martyrdom of General Qasem Soleimani will be followed by a strategic retaliation that will undoubtedly end the American presence in the region," Salami said, quoted by Fars. He added that "the act of retaliation will affect a wide area."

      It is difficult to disagree with these. Therefore, I was surprised that Israel "kept silent" about Putin's harsh assessment of the statement of the Polish ambassador to Hitler, about the suppression of Jews in Poland in 1938, calling him the appropriate word - "swine". Putin frankly expressed his position based on archival sources. Putin has clearly defended the Jews! And as a result, Putin caused the "Polish fire" on himself, and official Israel is silent as "fish on ice". And only "mumbled" - a joint statement of the ambassadors of Poland and Israel in condemning the "glorification" of the UPA in Ukraine. Thus, Israel showed its adherence to false correspondence with the West - the history of the Second World War.

    The technology of creating cheap AFAR. Interesting. Who thinks on this topic?
    TsNPO Leninets demonstrated at MAKS-2019 a new multifunctional radar complex with a cascaded active phased waveguide-slot antenna array. This technology makes it possible to create low cost electronically scanned antennas. The chief specialist of the enterprise Sergey Ivanov told Mil.Press Voennoye the details about the new product.

    The new radar, called Aris, is an active phased array (AFAR) radar for informing pilots of dangerous meteorological formations. The product supplemented the line of other radars developed by the association as part of the MARS initiative program.

    After all this - Putin should not go to Israel for - the "anniversary" of the Holocaust. Yes hi


    Are you really that naive? I'm talking about the Holocaust. Documents confirm only one tenth of the 6 million Jews, they are such Jews. They unleashed WWII themselves, made themselves victims. And the whole world is led to this. The world is ruled by a "God-chosen nation"; the life of the goyim is of little interest to them. Although, no, I'm interested ... In terms of planomenal destruction. Especially - the Slavs, as the most resisting. Note, I'm not anti-sim. I am quite sympathetic to simple, normal Jews.

      Noticed ... such little Natsiks, "not anti-simites" a dime a dozen.
      At the trial in Nuremberg, whoever of the Nazi criminals was asked about the extermination of Jews, it turned out that "he is not an anti-Semite, and even once helped some normal Jew."

        And in half of the European states that didn’t get to Nuremberg, they simply gathered Jews and organizedly gave them to the Germans. For example, the Scandinavians. And shockly worked for the Nazis.

    That's why he is a drone, so that people would not be endangered.
    Here, many are directly waiting for the Third World War because of Iran, as they were waiting for it because of Serbia, Iraq, etc.
    We swallow it, the USSR is not there, no one can restrain the United States and LNG-2 is a direct confirmation of this.

    Do you remember Nuremberg? Or maybe it is worth remembering those who brought Hitler to power and unleashed WWII? And yes, for you, the "chosen god", the world around us is the goyim. So where do the legs of nationalism and fascism grow from? I had good acquaintances - Jews. There are no complaints about such people. And to your top, not even in Israel - there are many claims. All the troubles from the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Abramovichs, etc. The whole world is in dust, just to fill your pockets ... Repent and it will become easier for you.
