During the briefing, US Defense Department spokesman Patrick Ryder noted that this issue has yet to be studied.
"I will not go into the details of measures to ensure the safety of personnel. As for the radar, as far as I know, the radar had a complete picture of what was happening. The US Central Command will study what happened to determine whether any additional security measures are needed, but it is too early to talk about it, "TASS quoted him as saying.
As previously stated in the Pentagon, the US base in Syria was attacked by a drone, as a result of which one American soldier was killed, six more were injured. According to intelligence estimates, the UAV was of Iranian origin.
In response, by order of US President Joe Biden, the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, authorized the forces of the Central Command to carry out air strikes in eastern Syria on objects "used by groups associated with the Iranian IRGC."
