“There is no loss”: Pentagon commented on missile strike on US base K1 in Iraq

Another rocket bombardment this night was subjected to one of the US military bases in Iraq. This time, the attacked turned out to be a military facility of the US Army K1 in the area of ​​the city of Kirkuk. It is noted that at the time of the launch of a missile attack on this airbase, there were hundreds of American troops on it.


According to recent reports, a total of at least ten missiles were fired at the US base in Kirkuk. In this case, one rocket exploded directly on the territory of the base. The Iraqi military department has so far reported that they discovered a launcher a few kilometers from the base, which was used for shelling. We are talking about the installation, which "fired" rocket ammunition.

The US contingent lifted helicopters into the air and Dronesto track down those who carried out this missile attack.

The American command, several hours after the attack on the K1 base in Iraq, reported that "there are no casualties among the American military losses." Recall that in January, exactly the same command of the US Army announced on the attack on other bases in Iraq.

Only a few weeks later it suddenly became clear that then more than 70 US troops were hospitalized. Most are diagnosed with cut wounds and concussions.

The Pentagon, commenting on the attack on the base, said it was being inflicted by "pro-Iranian forces, which must be severely punished for endangering the lives of American soldiers."

        Yes, I do not care about sins, their absolution, etc. There is an aggressor who imagines himself to be the navel of the earth to whom everything is possible. He began to fry the heels under his feet and it makes me happy. And who is doing this - Iran (for Suleimani), the pro-Iranian forces from the submission of Iraq - is immaterial. Or do you justify Hitler in your reasoning in the same way?

          Judging by the situation, a partisan movement is most likely starting against the presence of the Americans in Iraq. And this is understandable - the national resentment for the defeat in "Desert Storm" should once have become the reason that the offender would want to be punished. hi

      "A new army corps is being created in the US Army for operations in Eastern Europe
      At the headquarters of the 5th AK, 635 people will serve. At the same time, it was announced that 200 of them will be on a rotational basis at the advanced command post in Europe. All measures to form the governing bodies of the 5th AK and bring them into full readiness are planned to be completed as soon as possible - by the fall of 2020.

      It is possible that most of the relevant events for the preparation and coordination of the corps personnel will take place within the framework of the exercise "Defender Europe - 2020"

    Where are the rest? Intercepted? Or did not fly?
    If the infa is reliable, then Iran has taken a serious walk, the attacks will continue.
    The answer of the Americans will probably be after the election.

      They "fired" with unguided rockets ... How can you intercept a "cucumber" that flew, say, from a "hail" a few kilometers from the target?

        As for the Iranian forces ... after the American "high-precision" bombing and the former civilians have their own questions and claims to the Yankees.

    Iraqi Parliament Decides - US Armed Forces Must Leave Iraq.
    Now, it is not the "pro-Iranian forces" that survive, but the "anti-American" forces, of which there are already quite a few around the world, including in the BV. Iraq has every right to support them.

      Iraqi Parliament Decides - US Armed Forces Must Leave Iraq.
      According to some reports, the Americans are gradually withdrawing their contingent from 15 bases located in Iraq and want to leave behind only two, one of which, after the Suleimani murder, was attacked by Iran.

      Perhaps the Americans themselves staged this performance in order to secure the right to strike at the forces of the "Shaabists" and to get a reason to ignore the demand of the Iraqi parliament to withdraw American troops - like we are just defending democracy here. It is embarrassing that, despite the suddenness of the strike, the mattresses have "no losses", while during the last shelling, the Americans were notified two hours in advance of which bases would be hit and according to the latest data there were no "losses" counted 6 - 32 -64 -109 shell-shocked (counting continues).

      Definitely. Occupants must survive by all available means. As soon as the mattresses leave their territory, the life of Iraq will begin to return to normal.

    This "strange war" between Iran and the United States is amusing.
    Blow after blow, but no dead. Does a Shiite kid launch rockets?
    On the other hand, the striped ones strain. Do not feel like at a resort. They are looking anxiously at the sky ...
    It would be necessary to arrange this more often - maybe the kid will learn to get into it ... wink

    it was inflicted by "pro-Iranian forces, which should be severely punished
    Who would doubt, of course, exclusively "pro-Iranian", tk. according to the American opinion, there are no forces in Iraq that hate the United States. Yet it is not in vain that the upper and lower houses of the US Congress decide to ban Trump alone from starting a war with Iran. Russia, China, Iran and further down the list appear around every corner.
