Joint Operations Command denied on Saturday, the existence of camps for drones in deserted areas outside the authority of the state.
"Certainly, there are no camps for drones outside the authority of the state,'' said the spokesman for the joint operations, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, to Iraqi News Agency (INA).
Al-Khafaji added that ''the state is the one who controls the country's skies," noting that "no plane can fly except with official approvals from the Joint Operations Command,''
"The security forces are doing a great job in all the desert areas," noting that "Ain al-Assad base contains squadrons of Iraqi planes roaming the desert,'' he included.
Earlier, a high-level security delegation, headed by the Deputy Commander of Joint Operations Lieutenant-General Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, arrived in Anbar Governorate to inspect the military units, Ain Al-Assad base and the border strip, as well as following up on the implementation of security plans by Al-Jazeera operations units.
