These incredible snapshots show a US military drone that crashed and burned in the Iraqi desert.

The downed device went viral on social media after Iraq-based US freelance journalist and humanitarian Steve Ishak snapped local villagers taking cheeky selfies. 

The drone went down in Samawa, southeast of Iraqi capital Baghdad, landing behind a cement factory. 

Initially found by a shepherd, the drone stayed put for two days before being hauled away - and Steve, 27, managed to capture the moment on film.

He said: “I just thought, this has to get out!

"There was a lot of interest in it - Iraqis' were wondering why there was a drone in their backyard!"
