This site is no more accessible as the gravel track visible on google maps does not exist anymore. The area is a cultivated field now… a few hundred meters further is another nice spot though.
Report Check-Inwe slept a few meters away from this point. Military came right after we found our place to check what we are doing here. No problem to stay for one night, road could be muddy if its raining. very quiet and only about 80km to the border to Turkey.
Report Check-InWe stood here for a few days, as it has been super quite, the evenings had a wonderful sunsets and nobody - except one person, which is a friend now - came along.

To drone flyers: Always wait for a GPS Signal. A DJI Mavic 2 Pro WILL NOT start, but if you started it before a GPS Signal is received and you're above the water, the drone immediately lands, when there are enough satellites.
So it will NOT come back to the home position, it rather lands where it is.
By the way is this happening in the most parts of Iraq
