Utilizing a formidable arsenal of US-supplied air defense systems, Baghdad is delivering a crushing response to the Islamic Republic and its destabilizing proxy militias.

At the spearhead of this defense stands the formidable MIM-104 Patriot missile defense system.

This surface-to-air titan is the ultimate deterrent, specifically engineered to intercept and vaporize long-and medium-range attacks.

The Patriot system serves as a vital force against threats -- from ballistic missiles and fighter jets to massive unmanned aerial vehicles.

It automatically tracks and destroys targets, successfully thwarting numerous waves of aggression and securing Iraq's future against hostile long-range attacks.

Backing up the Patriot is the terrifying close-in defense of the Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) system.

As an impenetrable shield, this highly sophisticated deterrent detects incoming short-range projectiles within seconds of launch.

This defensive infrastructure is the "faithful guardian of Iraq's skies," according to strategic analyst Tariq al-Shammari.

The evidence is clear: on March 18 alone, Iraqi forces confirmed downing three enemy drones over Sulaymaniyah and another near Baghdad International Airport.

"Baghdad's air defense decimated the enemy, protecting oil fields in the Kurdistan Region and Basra, diplomatic posts, military bases and the Baghdad International Airport," Al-Shammari added.

Supported by US firepower, Iraq is fiercely determined to dismantle these terrorist threats, rejecting chaos and securing stability for the entire region.
