Caldwell describes the significance of this operation as a “seven to eight at least” on a scale of one to ten.
“They’re extremely lethal if they’re able to engage our helicopters and so for us, that was critical to get that type of equipment eliminated,” he said.
The military said the entire assault continued with a ground attack — not seen on the video — after the drone continued to track two cars that had fled the compound and driven to a nearby town.
“We launched a precision raid with helicopters and ground assault forces went in and we were able to detain eight individuals that we believe had been associated with that training earlier in the evening,” Caldwell said.
Nothing from DoD as of the time this post is written.
