There is an astonishing video on X of a fpv drone moving around the US Embassy undeterred in Iraq after a drone put out days earlier the Saab Giraffe-1X radar on the embassy roof, blinding the C-RAM system.If true then it truly is a sitting duck. Grok confirms it as probably trur; The post captures FPV drone footage from an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia's unchallenged flight over the US Embassy in Baghdad, lasting about two minutes, after a prior strike disabled the Saab Giraffe-1X radar and C-RAM system on March 15, exposing vulnerabilities in layered defenses. Released as propaganda by Saraya Awliya al-Dam, the video shows the drone surveying the compound amid software glitches like "failed to create log directory," underscoring low-cost FPV tech's role in asymmetric warfare against fortified targets. This attack, involving at least five drones and rockets, marks the most intense since the US-Israel-Iran war began, coinciding with strikes on Gulf oil sites and causing fires at the embassy, with Iraqi sources reporting partial interceptions but confirmed penetrations. Component Status Impact Saab Giraffe-1X Destroyed Total loss of short-range drone detection. C-RAM System Disabled/Degraded No automated fire against incoming rockets. SATCOM System Damaged Disrupted secure data exchange for diplomats. FPV Visibility Active Militias now have "eyes inside" the wire.
