The US Military is NOT Ready for Iranian Drones (History Legends)

A HH-60M Black Hawk helicopter was destroyed by an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq. This comes just days after similar FPV drones flew over US bases. On top of gaps in air defense capabilities, US soldiers have very little training in counter UAV measures.



Whatever the conflict, drone war evens the odds a lot. It stops armour and infantry. Plus local air defence stops helicopters. This video SHOWS how drones have a huge impact when it comes to manoeuvring on any battlefield - with a lot of examples from Ukraine and some from the Middle East (with FPV drones). It's created a similar movement problem to what we saw in WW1. If you have enough drones, and operators, then relatively small units can stop entire battalions (400-800) or brigades (2k-5k). Like machine guns and barbed wire. If you get caught out in the open ... or even in an exposed trench ...
