Published 10 months ago
This footage shows a weaponized drone being used by Iran-backed militants to attack US forces in Erbil, Iraq. Three service members were wounded in the explosion: two received TBIs and concussions whereas a third is in a medically-induced coma after receiving a reportedly through-and-through shrapnel wound to the head. Since the escalation of conflict and tensions in the area due to the events of October 7th in Israel, over 70 US service members have been wounded in similar attacks.
