Lt. Col. Timothy “Diesel” Causey highlighted the difficulties of combating drones in modern warfare, stating, “Attack drones are a low-cost, low-risk option for the enemy. They can deploy them in massive numbers, and we must engage them to protect civilians and our allies.”

US forces successfully intercepted 70 drones and three ballistic missiles during the attack, largely thwarting the assault.

Major Benjamin 'Irish' Coffey, has recalled how he was not expecting to run out of missiles while taking on the Iranian attack.
