FPV Drones Strike U.S. Helicopter and Radar at Victory Base in Iraq

Pro-Iranian militants in Iraq attacked the U.S.-operated Victory Base, hitting a helicopter and a radar station.

The targets included an HH-60M medical evacuation helicopter and an AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar, according to OSINTtechnical.

In the released video, the “Islamic Resistance” (an Iran-backed group) in Iraq obscured the red crosses on the helicopter.

U.S. forces did not attempt to intercept the FPV drones, which flew over the base without resistance.

Several helicopters were parked in open areas at the base, but only one was struck.

This is not the first attack on Victory Base this month. Earlier in the month, the “Islamic Resistance” carried out a strike using a fiber-optic FPV drone against the same base.

At that time, the FPV drone flew over the Baghdad-area base without resistance and maneuvered over the site while searching for targets.
