A drone has struck a tent of sleeping troops in Jordan, killing US troops in the Middle East for the first time since the war in Gaza began. The US has blamed Iran-backed militant groups, but is yet to identify who specifically they believe is responsible.
Three American troops have been killed and 34 injured in a drone attack in Jordan.
Those killed in the attack were sleeping in a tent at a place called Tower 22 in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border.
US President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups” in Syria and Iraq.
Oh shit. Hate to be working for a drone factory.
Or a building the US decides is a drone factory.
If, on the other hand, we were to immediately launch an all-out and coordinated attack on all their air fields and missile bases, we’d stand a damn good chance of catching them with their pants down. Hell, we’ve got a five-to-one missile superiority as it is. We could easily assign three missiles to every target and still have a very effective reserve force for any other contingencies.
Now, six, an unofficial study which we undertook of this eventuality indicated that we would destroy ninety percent of their nuclear capabilities. We would, therefore, prevail and suffer only modest and acceptable civilian casualties from their remaining force, which would be badly damaged and uncoordinated."
Considering you can build a drone out of some electronics and a couple sticks, anywhere can be a drone factory!
better hit every hospital just to be sure /s
Ah the Israel playbook.
Also the Hamas.playbook, right?
one is a nation another is a terrorist group, are they supposed to look the same?
Sure but primarily the Israel playbook first and foremost.
They make a good team though, one makes a civilian installation a military target by conducting military operations from it, the other blows up said military target. That is unless the jihadist rockets misfire and kill everyone on the hospital parking lot, then it becomes a solo mission
They learned that from us, definitely, but forgot the lesson we learned on optics.
Can’t just call everything an enemy base without like at least a hazy picture of a dude with two sticks and a circuit board in the building first.
