An unidentified kamikaze drone struck a Giraffe-1X radar station operated by the US Armed Forces on the roof of the US embassy in Baghdad.
Status-6 reported the incident.
The US military only recently started acquiring this type of radar. The first order was placed in October 2025, when Saab announced a $103 million contract for the systems.
These radars are portable, lightweight units designed for counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAS) operations, providing air defense against drones and other aerial threats. The radar at the embassy was deployed specifically for such tasks.

Saab’s Giraffe-1X is a lightweight, three-dimensional radar with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) operating in the X-band. The system offers full 360-degree airspace coverage and specializes in detecting small objects, including drones, while also tracking missile and mortar threats.

Weighing under 150 kilograms, the radar can be mounted on light vehicles or small stationary structures. It can detect air targets up to 75 kilometers away and simultaneously track over 100 objects.
The system’s software distinguishes between birds and drones, reducing false alarms. Designed for rapid deployment in urban environments or challenging terrain, the Giraffe-1X requires minimal power and integrates with modern air defense fire control systems.
The mafia state is actively helping the iranian regime in drone tactics and finding targets, including American ones. In the meantime, Ukraine offered help to combat those drones, but our inglorious traitor in the White House doesn’t care about the russian terrorists helping his enemy and refuses help from the best country in the world, regarding drone defense. All the while our Congress is asleep at the wheel and our generals and admirals are following illegal orders every day. And the Trumpstein files still haven’t been released as promised. In addition, the stupidest members of our society are still quite happy to lick the dingleballs off the Taco’s big, fat, shitty *ss, despite exploding gas prices.
You can’t make this shit up.
Yeah, the last time oil prices were this high was right after Biden let putin invade Ukraine.
This is impossible. According to TACO, Iran have been 100% defeated.
