On February 15, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it had shot down an Iranian-manufactured drone near one of its bases in the eastern Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor.
“On February 14th, at approximately 2:30 PM local time, U.S. forces in Syria engaged and shot down an Iranian-manufactured UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] attempting to conduct reconnaissance of Mission Support Site Conoco, a patrol base in northeast Syria,” the command said on Twitter.
Mission Support Site Conoco is a gas plant located on the eastern bank of Euphrates Rivers in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. Several armed factions backed by Iran are deployed alongside Syrian government forces in several nearby towns.
CENTCOM released two photos documenting the moment the drone was shot down. An anti-aircraft missile was apparently used.
The drone was identified as an Iranian-manufactured Yazdan. The hand-launched small drone is mainly used for frontline reconnaissance.

This was not the first such incident. In August 2021, an Iranian drone was reportedly shot down by a F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet of the U.S. Air Force over the Green Village base, which is located within al-Omar oil fields in the southern Deir Ezzor countryside.
Last January, a U.S. garrison in the southeastern Syrian area of al-Tanf was attacked with three suicide drones. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq – al-Warithin Formation, a shadowy armed faction that is thought to be affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, claimed responsibility for the attack, which wounded several Syrian militants from a U.S. proxy group.
The U.S. didn’t respond to the drone attack on al-Tanf. However, its 900 troops in Syria have been very cautious ever since. The threat of a new limited confrontation in Syria between U.S. forces and Iranian-affiliated factions remains high.
Congrats you shot down a lawn mower.
merimutts are such despot c&cksucking f$%gots
Near one of its illegal bases,there fixed it,send a ballistic missile shit storm next time and do the job right.
“UFO shooting challenge” seems to be trending wildly on the US Tik-tok right now. :)
I hate Jews. They don’t allow me to suck their dicks.
In essence you are since they control pretty much everything from the day you are born….
I agree, my borther muzlim in crotch. Jews control your and my dicks from the day we were born!!! Love 🏳️🌈
Is that all you stupid Jewish kikes can bring to comment section, you Jews are barely human your brains are nothing but a cess pit of sludge. No wonder why parasitize other societies, you Jews make nothing or do anything of worth.
The USA is a killer and murder government. Who killed peoples and children of every nations in Vietnam in korea in Afganistan in ucraine in iraq in Japon in palestine in syria and… in USA real owner peoples. .
Well done shooting down a hand-launched RC plane, nevermind the cost differences. You showed that wannabe drone who’s the boss!
Now it would be great if they could destroy the drones and rockets that regularly hit their bases.
Truly the US military does a very impressive job when it comes to attacking things that can’t shoot back. They are the indisputable winner against any weather balloons and RC planes.
Humanity needs to be invaded by a extraterrestrial being, only this way we can bring the world together and bring this shame to an end.
You the usa. Who f…ck are you ? What are you doing there.? Back to your pig gulf.
Unfortunately for us, muzlim swine voice does not go to Heaven. Nobody hears us.
Shut the fuck up Jewish shit kike.
Iraqi groups should be trained and equipped by Wagner to kill these occupiers. Destroy all the US troops in Syria and Iraq, sink all US ships in the Persian gulf. Destroying US forces in the Middle East would restore the primacy of international law and put the US in its place as a violator and loser.
Approved. You go do it!
The tribes of Deir Ezzor in Syria and Anbar in Iraq are very anti-Iranian so the US will exploit them. And we see that the regime of Erdogan in Turkey doesn’t support them and they support the Turkmen and other tribes in northern Iraq and the tribes of Aleppo and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria so they are also against them just like Syria, Iraq and Iran.
Whay the fuck Iran and Turkey is doing in Syria? They should go home and deal with problems at home. Iran is a shithole.
I also don’t agree that there are Iranian and Turkish forces in Syria.
..USA is a killer and murder government. Who killed peoples and children of every nations in Vietnam in korea in Afganistan in ucraine in iraq in Japon in palestine in syria and… in USA real owner peoples…

IRANIAN mollahs will take action. revenge is very soon. guest not that soon 😁
Ak chcú útočiť na darebácka štat USA a ich vojakov v Sýrii tak by mali požiadť RF o pomoc a vyžiadať si aspoň 10 ks vysokosofistikovaných rakiet ktorými RF disponuje. To by ešte len bpla zábava, to by bol ohňostroj. Verím, že keď Rusom dôjde trpezlivosť tak toto bude použité ako prvé varovanie. Uvidíme či sa z toho debili zo západu poučia, teda aspoň poniktorí.
