The Drone Proliferation Problem in Iraqi Kurdistan The recent spate of drone attacks on Iraqi Kurdistan has raised questions about the region's ability to defend itself against evolving threats.
A US service member was killed by unexploded ordnance from an Iranian drone, highlighting the growing concern that drone attacks have become a plague in the region.
Drones were first used as a military tactic during the 2016 ISIS attack on Kurdish positions. However, it's only recently that Iran backed militias have employed them with increasing frequency.
