#1  A U.S. F-15 took down the drone because it was “showing hostile intent” to coalition forces on the ground, according to a U.S. defense official. The Shahed 129 drone was flying in a pattern that would have taken it directly over where U.S. troops were operating at a combat outpost near the Syria-Jordan border to train coalition ground forces in the fight against ISIS, according to a Pentagon press release.

Last drone shot down was two weeks ago and it was Hesbie-owned.
