🔺🔻U.S. soldier in Kuwait: When our base in Kuwait became the target of a Shahid drone, we were not prepared for such an attack. Account of Captain Stephen Ramsbottom, an American soldier who was injured in the Iranian attack on a base in Kuwait: 🔹 The Shahid drone flew over the roof of the building and after the explosion, it threw me and my colleagues to the ground; some of the forces were severely injured and others had lost their lives. 🔹 The American forces had received prior warnings about the possibility of the Shuybah base and other minor bases in Kuwait being targeted, but they were not prepared for such a level of escalation and drone attacks and relied on missile warning systems for protection against drones. 🔹 However, it later became clear that these drones were not detected by those systems.
