You and I don't know where they are headed, but you can bet your last dollar the Iranians know.

Breaking News: The military Base on the border of Jordan and Syria where 3 military personnel were killed and over 40 wounded had NO Air Defense.
None.. Nothing capable of shooting down the drone that attacked the base.

Drone strike in Baghdad kills high-ranking commander involved in attack that killed 3 US soldiers
Iranian-backed militia groups have regularly claimed strikes on bases housing US troops in retaliation for US support of Israel

The U.S. carried out a drone strike in Baghdad late Wednesday that killed three members of the powerful Kataib Hezbollah militia – including a high-ranking commander connected with a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan late last month.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said forces conducted a unilateral strike in Iraq around 9:30 p.m. in response to a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan on Jan. 28.
The strike, which occurred on a main thoroughfare in Baghdad's Mashtal neighborhood, was considered a "high-value individual target," Fox News is told.
One of those killed is believed to be Wissam Mohammed "Abu Bakr" al-Saadi, the commander in charge of Kataib Hezbollah's operations in Syria, according to Reuters.
CENTCOM said there are no indications of collateral damage or civilian casualties at this time.
"The United States will continue to take necessary action to protect our people," CENTCOM said in a statement. "We will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten our forces' safety."
