    The international coalition is investigating the attacks of Erbil and Ain Al-Assad (Mortada Al-Sudani / Anatolia)
    +Line-
    Drones bombed in Iraq recently, on the front line of armed factions allied to Tehran, entered the US presence in the country, about 17 months after the attacks targeting camps and bases hosting US forces and the international coalition forces in northern, central and western Iraq were limited to 107 Katyusha rockets. Limited effect, and the Russian "grad".
    Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq and Ain Al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate, in the west of the country, respectively, witnessed [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on April 15 and May 8, which caused limited losses in an attachment to the American forces [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , in When the situation was less severe in the "Ain Al-Assad" base, as the attack caused limited damage to an empty hall located near a helicopter runway south of the base, according to what senior military sources in Baghdad revealed to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. The sources said that a team from the International Coalition and the Joint Operations Command is conducting an extensive investigation into the two attacks by examining parts of the two aircraft, which appear to be of a fixed-wing type, and have been locally developed and parts of them removed to enable us to carry explosive charges of more than 10 kilograms each, in addition to They are equipped with a target orientation device.
    US forces' missile interceptors are incapable of handling this type of attack
    Baghdad and the international coalition led by Washington are dealing with great concern with the entry of booby-trapped planes on the front line for several reasons The first is that the missile repellant systems (C-RAM), which were provided by the US forces at their embassy in the Green Zone and Camp Victoria near Baghdad International Airport, as well as the bases of Erbil and Ain al-Assad, are unable to deal with this type of attacks, as they failed to confront The last two attacks were in Erbil and Ain Al-Assad. Also, the entry of this weapon makes the issue of security fortifications of those bases useless because of the range of the aircraft, which can reach more than 40 kilometers and the reality of a one-way trip towards the target.
    In the context, a high-ranking military official in Baghdad revealed, to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, an extensive investigation by the international coalition forces, with the participation of an Iraqi security apparatus, into the source of these aircraft and the parties behind them. The official, a brigadier general in the Military Intelligence Directorate at the Ministry of Defense, said, "The attacks on the bases of Erbil and Ain Al-Assad were carried out by two aircraft of the same type, and parts of them have been found." He explained, "Investigations indicate that the two fixed-wing aircraft made of lightweight fiber-class material, operate with an electric charging motor, and were equipped with a GPS device and a remote control card, and they are capable of carrying weights of up to 8 kilograms of light, highly explosive C4." .

    The official, who requested anonymity, revealed that "this type of aircraft is available with certain factions in Iraq, most notably Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq, Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba and the Badr Organization, and it was previously used in Mosul and Baiji during the battles in 2015 and 2016, during the restoration of cities from The control of ISIS, and it is believed that these factions are continuing to develop this type of aircraft in their fortified sites.
    Regarding the next step after the investigation conducted by the coalition, the official said that he does not rule out that "the United States places the sites likely to be in charge of the development and manufacture of such aircraft among the goals that it might target in the future in the event of such attacks being repeated." That these factions have obtained or are in the process of acquiring drones powered by fuel engines, being more able to fly farther distances, and also more capable of carrying explosive weights than electric cargo planes. "
    It is believed that the factions continue to develop drones in their fortified locations
    And last Sunday, the Joint Iraqi Operations Command revealed what it described as a "new effort to prevent the re-targeting of vital installations and sites by booby-trapped drones," according to a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency, "Conscious," in which the spokesperson of the leadership, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, said that "there is work." On the security level, the joint operations command began with the development of the method of bombed aircraft. He explained that "this work includes developing the capabilities and capabilities of the technical effort carried out by the security forces, especially the security cordons surrounding vital targets." He added that "using the method of bombed aircraft, and sending these aircraft to important vital targets is a new development, but there is corresponding to this development, which is the use of a great technical effort to take advantage and work to enter the vibrations or the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as the cyberspace of the waves used by such aircraft." ". He continued that "

    Hatem Al-Falahi, an expert on Iraqi military affairs and a researcher at the Al-Rafidain Center for Strategic Studies, said in an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, “The beginning of the use of drones by armed groups allied with Tehran brings the country into a new phase.” He added, "There is no doubt that we are facing a new phase of military escalation between the United States and its partners on the one hand, and the militias and Iran on the other hand. There is also a clear American assessment of this severity, when (US Central Command Commander) General Kenneth Mackenzie confirmed earlier. That the drones have become a threat to the US forces and their partners in the region.
    Al-Falahi: The infrastructure of the aircraft is Iranian, which is clear
    Al-Falahi explained, "The danger of these attacks comes from multiple reasons, the first of which is that these aircraft are small in size and difficult to detect by radar devices, with low flying that reach the targets, and missile systems fail to deter them, in addition to the possibility of being easily launched from anywhere without the need for launch bases." Or missile-style platforms. " He continued: "The new method that the militias deal with, whether in Iraq or Yemen, is the use of booby-trapped aircraft that explode by collision, so we are now facing high-risk attacks for US forces in Iraq, or even against targets in the Iraqi neighborhood, and the leaks seem to be a part of the attacks. Which has targeted Saudi lands in recent months, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] logical [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] day after day. "
    Al-Falahi pointed out that "the origin of these aircraft is Iran, and it may have undergone some modifications in the militia camps inside Iraq, but in the end these modifications are also supervised by Iranian experts in developing the arsenal of armed factions, and thus the infrastructure of Iranian aircraft, which is clear." And he considered that "the forces of non-state in Iraq, their threat is no longer limited to Iraq and its institutions and the aspirations of its citizens towards a stable and secure country, but also poses a threat to the countries of the region, especially neighboring Saudi Arabia, in light of the escalation of its military power day after day with Iranian support," noting That "the Americans are unable to protect their bases in Iraq from these marches."
    Officer: The current aircraft in use are still not wide-impact
    Earlier, MP Karim Al-Baldawi, a member of the Al-Fateh coalition, the political wing of the "Popular Mobilization" in the Iraqi parliament, said that the drone attacks were the responsibility of the Americans and the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi. Al-Baldawi explained in a statement to reporters in Baghdad, that "the tension in the security situation and the escalation in bombing operations are borne by two parties; the first is the American forces, and the second is the Iraqi government. The latter is called upon to resolve the controversy over the presence of American forces, and the matter is limited to a few advisors and trainers, according to What is needed for them, "he refused to condemn the armed factions as being responsible for the attacks. He continued: "The use of drones to target the bases is a reaction to action, especially with the continued provocations by the United States, and the blatant interference in Iraqi affairs by the Washington embassy in Baghdad, and for this reason the principle of confrontation has become wide open."
    However, an officer in Anbar Operations Command told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "the current aircraft in use are still not of wide effect, and their destructive diameter is limited, especially since the targets are military bases, not weapons stores or installations containing inflammable and destructive materials." He added, "There are concerns about the presence of drones with fuel engines with one or two cylinders, similar to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , as these will not only pose a threat to military bases and installations inside Iraq, but even to the level of Iraq’s neighbors, specifically Saudi Arabia, because their range will be longer." The most dangerous and the most destructive. "
