Iran has demonstrated the utter futility of the American Patriot air defense systems.

Despite the fact that the United States has deployed its Patriot air and missile defense systems in Iraq to “protect against any air threat,” Iran has demonstrated the absolute uselessness of these systems by photographing them from a conventional drone that flew just a few kilometers from the largest American military bases in Iraq.

In the photographs presented, you can see the latest innovations at American military facilities in Iraq, including the deployment of air defense systems, weapons depots, helipads, etc. The UAV acted completely unhindered and was not even noticed by American air defense systems, although the flight was carried out just a few kilometers from the positions of the Patriot air defense system.

The American side so far prefers not to comment on the unhindered access of Iranian drones to areas of the largest US military bases in Iraq, however, experts say that this is a great demonstration of the futility of American air defense / missile defense systems.

“The next time the Americans claim that they have a weapon to destroy ballistic missiles, it is enough to show photographs in which the Iranian drone is absolutely free to collect information about the forces at the largest US military bases. One should not be surprised if in the coming days pro-Iranian groups launch new attacks on American military bases and successfully destroy helicopters or even the air defense systems themselves. ", - the expert marks.

It should be clarified that after the US refused to leave Iraq, the authorities of this country refused to impede Iranian military activities in the region, provided that Tehran’s actions would not threaten the civilian population.
