Dillon: Yes it was, it was a US aircraft [that shot down the drone]
Dillon: The attempted strike by the drone was east of At Tanf … [does not say how far] … Regime forces have been located … to the northwest.
Dillon re SOF in Raqqa: Our forces have to put themselves in the best place … they have been told not to be at the very front … they are supposed to go to the last cover and conceal position …
Dillon: The drone … we assess that to be a pro-regime … regime drone
Dillon: We used the de-confliction line. Whether that message makes it all the way down to the driver of the technical vehicle … I cannot say that.
