An Iraqi armed group calling itself Saraya Awli’a al-Dam [the Custodian of Blood Regiments] has reportedly vowed to shot down US warplanes in response to the June 27 strikes which targeted positions of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) on the Syrian-Iraqi border.
Four fighters of the PMU were killed as a result of the US strikes. Unidentified fighters shelled a base of the US military in northeastern Syria in response. The base was badly damaged.
On April 30, social media accounts affiliated with Saraya Awil’a al-Dam revealed that the group is determined to shot down a US warplane.
The Sabereen News channel on Telegram also shared an illustration poster showing a fighter of Saraya Awil’a al-Dam shooting down a US military helicopter with a man-portable air-defense system (MANPAD).

Saraya Awil’a al-Dam is one of several pro-Iranian groups which were established following the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Deputy-Commander of the Popular Mobilization Units, and Iran’s Quds Force Commander Maj. Gen. Qassim Soleimani on January 3 of 2020. The group’s cells attacked several US supply convoys in different parts of Iraq in the last few months.
Pro-Iranian groups in Iraq targeted US warplanes in the past. The main aim of these attacks is to force US troops out from the country.
The PMU is part of the Iraqi military, which the USA vowed to protect from ISIS.
It’s a brain-dead move to attack the people you are supposed to protect. Iraq should hurry up and officially kick the US Army out.
The US and western propaganda always to try to frame them as shia militias but forget to mention that the majority of Iraqis are shia.
So you don’t think the majority should make the rules??
You do realize democracy, whether full or representative, is majority/mob rules.
“Being a majority does not give you the right to form lawless terror outfits disguised as security forces.”
Actually, it does.
It’s called Democracy.
It’s how the USA was created.
Also how the colonial Apartheid ‘state’ of israel was created.
Couldn’t make head or tail of the crap you write so I just down voted it.
Let me guess you’re at the Israeli end of that Axis?
You screed is false from the first statement to the last.
Are you Jewish?
He ain’t. He’s just rabid Zionist.
I would LOVE to see That happen on a daily base, on a global scale.
Some morons say the same thing about SAA, but they also forgot that Syria did shoot down two Zion jets before…we all know they can and have the means do to so and the right under UN.
Yanquis in Iraq are sitting ducks…they can hit them as they wish, Iran did without a problem.
Yanquis aren’t “save” in M.E they never were…that is why they su(k and pay Zion so much to have “save” strong hold in M.E.
God bless All of them.
That’s right, so I think Israel will be destroyed soon, and it’s certain.
“May the curse of Allah be on those destabilizing other countries with terror militias.”
What do you have so much hate against Zion, yanquis, NATO, and Wahhabi “Muslim wannabe”?
How trite, make fancy pictures and speak big nothings, do it already and then we can celebrate with inforgraphs.
“Iraq War architect Donald Rumsfeld dead at 88”

The pig is burning in hell…so well other after him.
He will meet his maker and it won’t be a pleasant experience, I can assure you.
They’re going to “shot” them down?
How can that get past the editor?
It’s probably just a matter of time when they can get their hands on some capable weaponry to make it happen, I can’t wait to see this happen.
The people who run this place can barely speak English, much less spell it.
This is going to get interesting. The Jews’ US Tyranny needs to control at least Southern Iraq to enable their coming invasion of Iran’s energy fields.
Iraq should have started using Manpads ages ago!! wake up !! take lessons from the undefeated Taliban please.
