A few days ago, ISIS published the following image in one of its publishing houses (Muharir Al-Ansar):
In the image, a drone carrying a large tank appeared alongside the Eiffel Tower, with an Islamic State jihadist at the bottom, captioned "Surprise Awaiting Us".
A brief history shows that ISIS has been using drones for a variety of missions as early as 2014 when terrorist groups used drones primarily for reconnaissance missions. Beginning in 2017, ISIS successfully used a small grenade warhead (see image below, the warhead is red).
The warhead, weighing about 200-300 grams, will be mounted under the drone (secured by a small crane) and will be dropped at "enemy" forces on the Mosul and Raqqa battlefields from a height of about 50-100 meters.
Various reports suggest that while such a small warhead did not cause major damage, it still caused casualties in the ISIS race, at least in Syria's former ISIS capital Raqqa.
ISIS manages to launch 15 to 20 drone strikes a day, which has brought about a change in the SDF's combat strategy as they begin to move from house to house in the city, breaking down walls rather than advancing on open sky streets.
In addition to the recent direct threat to the Eiffel Tower, ISIS operatives were arrested in Denmark a few weeks ago. They are trying to buy drones to send to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Jammer mart has been developing and manufacturing drone jammer solutions, providing a rapidly deployable, experienced drone signal jammer technology solution to the looming ISIS incumbent threat.
