Trey Yingst: These are ‘SERIOUS ATTACKS’ #shorts #foxnews #news #us
What is the posture that the United. States is taking? Was this maybe. somewhat expected or did this catch them. off guard? >> We do know that the US forces that are. stationed in Jordan have a variety of. air defense systems to help them to. shoot down this type of incoming fire. You have American supplied Patriot and. bad missile defense systems that are. deployed in this area. And I did speak. with a US source familiar earlier this. evening who indicated at this point. there are no significant impacts and. nearly all of the incoming missiles have.
been intercepted. You remember earlier. this summer there were similar attacks. against these bases in Jordan and US. forces were killed. And so these are. serious attacks. They're taken not. lightly at all by US Central Command. that is working to shoot down this. incoming fire. And previously I even. spoke with President Trump about this. and he said it was amazing to watch in. real time how quickly these American. soldiers are responding and how. successful they can be at shooting down. this incoming fire. A lot of the.
responsibility has shifted back to US. forces. They're not relying on allies in. the region when possible because they. trust these soldiers on the ground who. are manning these air defense systems. and their ability to shoot down these. incoming missiles.
