In the days since his killing, we have seen many attacks on United States facilities in Iraq.

The embassy's C-RAM.

C-RAM is Counter Rocket Artillery and Mortar.

When you see videos of drones being shot down, when you see like a, you hear like a and then you see a burst of like trace of fire and the drone explodes, it's normally the C-RAM.

So the embassy C-RAM negates and has destroyed a drone.

But other footage posted online shows an FPV drone, that's a first person view drone.

FPV drone, it looks like you're flying as opposed to like you're looking directly down.

Flying over the embassy compound for almost two minutes.

I'm guessing it was a fiber optic control drone, right?

So there's no means of like jamming the signal, but this is still a monumental failure for security, right?

At the same time, we saw two drones at least enter and explode in the victory base, which is near Baghdad airport.

The videos from those are bizarre.

It seems like the drone gets into the base and then it's just like, whoa, what the hell?

It didn't seem like they had a clear target.

It kind of flies around and seems so shocked that it was able to penetrate this supposedly impenetrable area.

Yeah, drones is a broad category, I guess.

So you have like your Shaheed drone, which kind of blurs the line between a drone and a missile, right?

It's like a missile that can take a more varied flight path.

It doesn't just go in an arc, like ballistically.

In those cases, there are things that you can do to shoot them down, right?
