As Herrera’s claims emerge, The Weaponized podcast has released an image of what was at the time described as a “hostile drone” shot down over Syria by an RAF Typhoon. The object – described in RAF reports as an “unidentified aerial phenomenon” [UAP] appeared to be a saucer or mushroom-shaped object.
The MoD said the “terrorist drone” – which was destroyed on December 14 2021 – “posed a threat” to coalition forces fighting the Islamic State group in southern Syria. Jeremy Corbell from Weaponized told the Daily Star he had “no idea” if the Ministry of Defence would officially release this image.
