Arrr mateys! 'Tis bein' said that a rogue drone, laden with explosives, didst sneak past the defenses by tailin' a drone returnin' to the base. 'Twas a deadly blast that didst occur near Jordan's Tower 22 base, takin' the lives of three brave U.S. sailors, an' causin' injuries to many more. Aye, 'tis a grim day on the high seas!
According to the fine folks at Politico, this drone be a sly one. It cunningly followed another U.S.-operated drone that was heading back to the base in Jordan. Arrr, it be like a game of follow the leader, but with explosions and danger! The defenses were no match for this sneaky little contraption, me mateys.
This explosive-laden drone, ye see, came all the way from the lands of Iraq. It sailed through the skies, unnoticed and undeterred, until it reached the living quarters of Jordan's Tower 22 base near the border of Syria. There, it made its dastardly move, detonating itself and causing havoc like a cannonball hitting the deck of a ship.
Three U.S. troops were tragically sent to Davy Jones' locker, and a mighty 34 others were injured, mostly reservists. 'Tis a sad day, indeed. The toll of lives lost and bodies wounded weighs heavy on our hearts, me hearties.
But wait, there be more to this tale! Methinks around 90 people in total were affected by this vile act. The drone may have thought it could play a prank, but it be a prank that be causing pain and suffering to our brave men and women.
So, let this be a warning to all ye scallywags out there. Drones may be small and unassuming, but they can be deadly weapons in the hands of those who wish to harm. Let's raise a tankard and toast to our fallen comrades and hope that justice finds the scurvy dog responsible for this treacherous act.
