More drone

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Several Iraqi militia fighters were killed on Sunday in an air strike on their headquarters near the western Qaim district on the border with Syria, military sources and militia commanders told Reuters.
The strike was likely carried out by drones and targeted the Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah Shi’ite militia, the sources said. Ambulances were heading to the area.
Likely ISIS or Israeli drones. 

So the Iranian commander claiming the ability to shoot down drones was bogus, a bluff.  The Iranian Republican Guard does not yet have air to air combat drones. I doubt the US Military has them, Ruskies have an operational system. But you can bet your booties that we will be seeing some air to air drone combat in 2020. I am almost certain the Israelis have a system working.
