"Militants used anti-aircraft guns to fire at the drones, forcing the authorities to shut the airport because they feared for the safety of passenger planes."
"If it flies, SHOOT IT!" is the motto of most (undisciplined) 3rd world AA gunners.
In Tanzania they fired on two police helicopters with "POLICI" written on the side in letters a foot high.
The same crews fired on me while flying a Bell JetRanger in Uganda. My clearance was on the airport manager's desk. He had forgotten to tell the gunners that I was OK.
Getting out of there I melted my first stage stator vanes in the hot section of my engine. (hey, I'll melt engines all day long getting away from a ZSU-23-2 100-150 yards away!)
"ZSU-23-2"

It is very thoughtful and considerate of the Jihadi savages to reveal their positions so that we can perform accurate targeting.

Probably shooting at the drones with weapons that Bambi and Hitlary gave them.

All of this trouble would make a dandy excuse for Zero to, “For national security,” postpone the election until calmer times.
Like, maybe, the year 2062?

most folks, freepers and miltary excepted, do not realize that all that crap that goes up has to come down. in GW-1 i believe more iraqis in baghdad were killed by falling FLAK than us munitions.

Don’t think there will be Americans on the ground. To risky for Obummer’s reelection.
