BREAKING NEWS: Iranian drones hit US base: Black Hawk helicopter and NASAMS radars hit

The helicopter and NASAMS radar were hit, and there was again no protection against UAVs.

Iranian- backed groups in Iraq have launched strikes on US equipment at the Victory Camp Complex using FPV drones. The attack has once again raised questions about the vulnerability of US facilities to such threats, writes Defence Express.

The video shows the destruction of a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter, which was on the site without visible signs of security or attempts to intercept it. According to preliminary data, the drone may have hit the propeller, but the extent of the damage is still unknown.

Medical evacuation could be under attack

Part of the helicopter image was intentionally obscured, likely to mask the Red Cross emblem, suggesting it was a version of the HH-60M Black Hawk designed for casualty evacuation.

Another video shows the destruction of the AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar station, which is used as part of NASAMS.

The radar caught fire after the strike, as confirmed by footage from the scene. According to sources, the attack could have been carried out by multiple drones at once.
