Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) announced on Wednesday that it possesses, for the first time, M6 attack drones.
Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have unveiled an advanced attack drone on the 9th anniversary of the establishment of the force, which is part of the country’s army, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
The M6 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was unveiled on Wednesday, a day after Iraqis marked the anniversary of the PMU’s establishment in 2014, which was aimed at helping the army fight ISIS terrorist groups, IRNA added.
The acquisition of advanced drones by the PMF is a qualitative addition to its armament in Iraq, which in turn increases its deterrent capabilities, making it a clear threat to the military armaments hostile to Iraq as well as to the US military forces present in the country.
