00:19A new phase of warfare is unfolding, and it's being captured in real time.
00:25Iranian-backed militias in Iraq have released new footage showing precision FPV drone strikes
00:33on U.S. military assets inside Camp Victory, a key American base located near Baghdad International
00:40Airport.
00:41The video, shot from onboard drone cameras, shows a low-flying drone locking on to an
00:48ANPQ-64 Sentinel radar system, a critical part of U.S. air defense, before striking it directly.
00:57In a second sequence, another drone travels more than a kilometer across the base, appearing
01:03to move undetected before targeting two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters parked in the open.
01:10The aircraft are clearly visible in the final moments before the drone closes in.
01:15This is not just another attack.
01:18It highlights a major shift in how modern warfare is being fought.
01:23These are low-cost, fiber-optic-guided FPV drones designed to bypass traditional electronic
01:30jamming systems.
01:32Unlike conventional drones, they are harder to intercept, and can operate with precision
01:37inside heavily defended zones.
01:40That creates a serious challenge.
01:42Because military systems worth millions of dollars — radars, helicopters, infrastructure — are
01:49now being targeted by weapons that cost only a fraction of that.
01:54Camp Victory has long been a central hub for U.S. aviation and logistics in Iraq.
02:00It's a heavily-guarded installation.
02:02But this footage suggests that even high-security bases are increasingly vulnerable to these kinds
02:08of attacks.
02:09The groups behind the strikes operate under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq,
02:15a network of Iran-aligned factions.
02:18They have carried out dozens of drone and rocket attacks on U.S. positions in Iraq and Syria
02:24in recent months, often linking their actions to broader regional tensions.
02:28So far, there has been no official confirmation from the United States about damage or casualties
02:34from this specific incident.
02:37And as with many such videos, independent verification remains limited.
02:42But that's only part of the story.
02:44Because in modern conflict, perception is just as important as impact.
02:49Releasing this kind of footage sends a message — about capability, reach, and intent.
02:55It shows that these groups can operate inside heavily defended areas, that they can target
03:01high-value assets, and that they are adapting faster than traditional defenses.
03:07And that's what makes this moment significant.
03:10Because warfare is changing.
03:12It's becoming cheaper, more precise, and far more unpredictable.
