Sophisticated Attack Destroys Advanced Anti-Drone System At U.S. Embassy In Iraq (Videos)

A sophisticated attack targeted the United States Embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on March 14 morning, causing some serious losses.

Missiles were reportedly used in the attack. An Iraqi security source told Al Jazeera that missiles destroyed part of the embassy’s air defense system, without giving further details.

The Associated Press also reported, citing two Iraqi security officials, missiles struck a helipad inside the embassy. The missile landed within the embassy’s boundaries in the Green Zone, the heavily fortified district in central Baghdad that houses Iraqi government institutions and foreign embassies, according to the officials.

Meanwhile, an Iraqi security official who spoke with AFP said that at least one drone was also used in the attack on the embassy.

The attack came just hours after President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. carried out “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East” against “every military ​target” on Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil exporting hub.

The attack marked a new phase in the American-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic, with Trump threatening to target oil facilities next if safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is not guaranteed.

Videos posted to social networks showed smoke rising from the embassy’s compound after the attack, and while it was widely reported that a Centurion C-RAM — a counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar air defense artillery system — was hit, the footage indicate that what was destroyed was in fact a Fixed Site-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft System Integrated Defeat System (FS-LIDS).

The system typically includes Ku-band Radio Frequency System (KuRFS) radar or AN/TPQ-50 radar for detection, an optical system for identification, the Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) electronic warfare systems for jamming, and Coyote interceptors launchers.

The system is typically armed with Coyote Block 2, a jew-powered interceptor equipped with an active radar seeker and armed with a proximity warhead. It can engage threats at a range of more than 15 kilometers, and can even re-attack if it misses on the first pass.

The KuRFS was clearly damaged as a result of the attack in Baghdad, while another component housed in a radar dome was destroyed, according to the footage.

The available information suggests that the attack was launched from close range, possible using anti-tank guided missiles, and loitering munitions, or even small first-person view suicide drones.

The attack was very likely carried out by cells from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), which has been launching strikes against military facilities housing U.S. forces in the country since the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran. The group is yet to claim responsibility, however.

The U.S. stepped up strikes against the IRI in recent days, and just hours before the attack on the embassy in Baghdad, a strike hit a building in the Arasat district of the capital, killing four people and wounding eight others. Iraqi media reported that senior commanders of the IRI were among the casualties.

The destruction of the U.S. embassy’s FS-LIDS was a serious loss, not just because the system costs a little over $100 million — based on a deal for Qatar approved in 2025 that covers the purchase of ten such systems for over $1 billion —, but mainly because the attack left the compound and the entire Green Zone dangerously exposed, especially to larger suicide drones.

larijani concluded that all this is happening because trump is a pedophile and wants to divert attention from epstein.
but mia knows more.the dark triad in human psychopathology is a fitting explanation for trump and hegseth’s murder of 165 iranian girls. it is about sadism, which in the case of hegseth’s violence against his wife samantha and daughter was hidden behind the scenes, but it was revealed. trump is a pedophile and enjoys all kinds of violence against girls, he killed 165

the west means to bring feminism to iran. as we all have seen feminism is the most vile of western concepts. just another way the jew destroys their enemies

the baal worshippers went after nancy pelosi, even though she’s an old whore.they didn’t care.their horned god, who was sometimes a shepherd god and sometimes enki and sometimes lucifer ordered it.so they beat nancy pelosi’s husband with a hammer and stormed congress.helmets with horns and then they’re supposed to be crusaders and for jesus?these people worship the devil, who was worshipped by shepherds and sacrificed goats, sheep, oxen and bulls.

LilyLution

now trump and hegseth want to demolish the palestinian mosque and sacrifice a red heifer. why do you think there are dozens of red heifers in the us all of a sudden? they are deliberately breeding red cows so that when they demolish a specific mosque in palestine, they will build a temple and have plenty of choices for sacrifice. until then, their god must be happy with the girls.why do you think they killed iranian schoolgirls?for their god, because there were no gladiators bulls, sheeps, girls

Hmmhmmm

it’s written in their own torah. the ‘devil’ failed to destroy adam so hé targetted eve.

LilyLution

feminism is killing iranian schoolgirls in the name of baal?this is human sacrifice.in rome, there were gladiators and a certain number of gladiators had to be dead for a good harvest.shepherds raped a sheep and cut its throat during the rape.trump is killing iranian girls in exchange for wealth.that’s all. this was before judaism and will probably continue to be the case after judaism and other religions designed to deceive people have collapsed. t

Sid Gumowitz

yet iranian men perform annul s3x on each other to bring the 12th madi into the world.

larijani is smart, but not smart enough to say that trump and his followers are worshippers of moloch and baal. the horned deity was first the god of shepherds and was eventually identified by jesus as lucifer and the devil. that’s why they had horns when they broke into the consulate and wanted to sacrifice the congresswomen to baal. caroline leavitt, pam bondi and tulsi gabbard should be careful not to be raped and sacrificed to the devil by pete hegseth, donald trump

LilyLution

and marco rubio during the working young or old, virgin or used, everyone is good for the shepherds god. in the beginning, worshipers baal raped a sheep and cut its neck during sex. these people would slaughter, rape, and burn their own colleagues in the middle of the white house for a hundred hellish dollars.

i want the democrats to win, because only then will it be possible for the main enemies of women and girls (the killers of 165 iranian girls) to go to prison. both of them.pete hegseth is the man branded a bully against women by his wife samantha and mother penelope. his own mother knew. trump sacrificed children to baal and moloch at epstein’s ranch, so the us bailing out his companies.

Mia

it’s not just child abuse, it’s devil worship, and the devil rewards it. who has gone bankrupt so many times and sexually assaulted so many women and girls and not gone to jail?

Vanya

the slipper people are rising up.
i have read that many arab states that have pro-western monarchs such as jordan and saudi arabia may actually have shite majority populations that despise the sunni governments that bring in western ways and western style civilizational corruption

hasbarats

time for the amerikunts and jews to leave the middle east!

Clint

yankee go home!

Jay

jew-powered interceptor??? 😂

protectourfreedumbs

the amerikunts are being smoked out of their terrorist bases in iraq and the gulf hehehehehh trumpo is desperate, begging putin and xi for a ceasefire one day and making bombastic threats the next.

LilyLution

did the sri lankans really transfer the injured iranian sailors to a chinese hospital?that will be terrible.
in iran, a woman must be completely covered and have her face uncovered, but a chinese female nurse is completely uncovered and only her face is covered. all the chinese nurses in the hospital wear masks and all the chinese women on the beach wear their faces covered.

hasbarats

12 day war we had dance hits “boom boom boom tel aviv”. the 1 day excursion war we have “boom boom boom usa”…by the way where is bibi boobi gone?

Peter Jennings

it was a matter of time before someone took out these us spook hq’s. they have been pushing their luck for years in several different countries. us embassy’s only serve one main purpose these days. perhaps it has always been that way and its only the official bullshit that changes?

Sid Gumowitz

the mental illness exhibited in the comments is off the charts and absolutely hilarious.

khamis khancar dogan

trumpyahu fails miserably

The Narrative

some day this will be known as the great humiliation. israel is a sin. all it offers is lies and abominations to the world. nothing else. us hasbara media is page after page and story after story of lie after lie.

The Narrative

exit plans are simple. you exit. but israel plans on running out of the restaurant to leave us taxpayers with the bill. the iran war is also doing russia a favor in ukraine. no matter how many us guided british missiles upset and unify the russian people.

Iranian Schools Go BOOM!

nuclear tomahawk penetration of iran coming soon…heheheh
